Multigeneration family with dominant SPG30 hereditary spastic paraplegia
نویسندگان
چکیده
Autosomal recessive KIF1A missense mutations cause hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) type SPG30, while recessive truncations lead to sensory and autonomic neuropathy (HSN2C) and many de novo missense mutations are associated with cognitive impairment. Here, we describe family members across three generations with pure HSP. A heterozygous p.Ser69Leu KIF1A mutation segregates with those afflicted. The same variant was previously reported in a Finnish father and son with pure HSP as well as four members of a Sicilian kindred with more intrafamilial phenotypic variability. This further validates the pathogenicity of the p.Ser69Leu mutation and suggests that it may represent a mutation hot spot.

Hereditary spastic paraplegia caused by compound heterozygous mutations outside the motor domain of the KIF1A gene.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Hereditary spastic paraplegia is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of rare, inherited disorders causing an upper motor neuron syndrome with (complex) or without (pure) additional neurological symptoms. Mutations in the KIF1A gene have already been associated with recessive and dominant forms of hereditary spastic paraplegia (SPG30) in a few cases. METHODS...
متن کاملAutosomal recessive spastic paraplegia (SPG30) with mild ataxia and sensory neuropathy maps to chromosome 2q37.3.
The hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSPs) are a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of neurodegenerative diseases characterized by progressive spasticity in the lower limbs. Twenty-nine different loci (SPG) have been mapped so far, and 11 responsible genes have been identified. Clinically, one distinguishes between pure and complex HSP forms which are variably associated with numerou...
متن کاملHereditary spastic paraplegia: identification of an SPG3A gene mutation in a Chinese family.
Hereditary spastic paraplegias are a heterogeneous group of chronic central motor system disorders, characterised by progressive lower limb spasticity. Hereditary spastic paraplegia is clinically classified into pure and complicated forms, by the absence or presence of additional neurological or extra-neurological features. Hereditary spastic paraplegias follow all modes of inheritance and the ...
متن کاملNovel mutation in the SPG3A gene in an African American family with an early onset of hereditary spastic paraplegia.
BACKGROUND Mutations in a novel GTPase gene SPG3A cause an autosomal dominant hereditary spastic paraplegia linked to chromosome 14q (SPG3), which accounts for approximately 10% to 15% of all autosomal dominant hereditary spastic paraplegia cases. The mutational spectrum of the SPG3A gene and the phenotype/genotype correlations have not yet been established. OBJECTIVE To describe a kindred wi...

Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a cluster of genetically heterogeneous disorders that has spastic paraplegia as the central feature. Autosomal dominant HSP (AD-HSP) is also genetically heterogeneous and seven loci have been identified so far on chromosomes 14q (SPG3), 2p (SPG4), 15q (SPG6), 8q (SPG8), 12q (SPG10), 19q (SPG12), and 2q (SPG13). Among them, the SPG4 gene named spastin (GenB...
