Novel OPA1 mutation featuring spastic paraparesis and intestinal dysmotility
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 58-year-old man with optic atrophy, spastic paraparesis, axonal sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy and intestinal dysmotility harbors a novel heterozygous missense mutation in the mitochondrial import signal peptide of OPA1. The case underscores the role of OPA1 in the pathogenesis of spastic paraparesis, so far reported only in very few cases, and it adds intestinal dysmotility to the spectrum of adult-onset clinical manifestation of OPA1-associated disease.

Hereditary spastic paraplegias are highly heterogeneous neurodegenerative disorders with some special mutations. We report on a patient with pescavus, distal a myotrophy, hyper extended fingers, and pectus excavatum. Neurological examination showed that he had proximal lower limbs weakness with a positive Gower sign, exaggerated lower limbs deep tendon reflexes with spasticity, distal muscle wa...
متن کاملMulti-system neurological disease is common in patients with OPA1 mutations
Additional neurological features have recently been described in seven families transmitting pathogenic mutations in OPA1, the most common cause of autosomal dominant optic atrophy. However, the frequency of these syndromal 'dominant optic atrophy plus' variants and the extent of neurological involvement have not been established. In this large multi-centre study of 104 patients from 45 indepen...

BACKGROUND X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy is a peroxisomial disorder caused by mutations in the ABCD1 gene. Adrenomyeloneuropathy is the second most frequent phenotype (25-46%) of this disease and classically presents in adulthood with spastic paraparesis. Female heterozygotes can be symptomatic, but they are frequently misdiagnosed as having multiple sclerosis. CASE REPORT We report a novel m...
متن کاملMutation analysis of the spastin gene (SPG4) in patients with hereditary spastic paraparesis.
BACKGROUND Hereditary spastic paraparesis is a genetically heterogeneous condition. Recently, mutations in the spastin gene were reported in families linked to the common SPG4 locus on chromosome 2p21-22. OBJECTIVES To study a population of patients with hereditary spastic paraparesis for mutations in the spastin gene (SPG4) on chromosome 2p21-22. METHODS DNA from 32 patients (12 from famil...
