A Novel c.4822>T Mutation on SPG11 in an Iranian Patient Marked by Hereditary Spastic Paraparesis and Skeletal Deformity: An Incidental Finding or a True Association
Authors
Abstract:
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 was ting, bilateral horizontal nystagmus (direction change), and positive Romberg sign. A novel mutation in SPG11/spatacsin was detected through genetic analysis. Magnetic resonance imaging showed normal whole spine and brain anatomy.

full textMicrostructural integrity of cerebral fiber tracts in hereditary spastic paraparesis with SPG11 mutation.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE ARHSP-TCC is characterized by progressive leg spasticity, ataxia, and cognitive dysfunction. Although mutations in the human SPG11 gene were identified as responsible for ARHSP-TCC, the cerebral fiber integrity has not been assessed systemically. The objective of this study was to assess cerebral fiber integrity and its clinical significance in patients with ARHSP-TCC. ...
full textIdentification of a Heterozygous SPG11 Mutation by Clinical Exome Sequencing in a Patient With Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia: A Case Report
Next-generation sequencing, such as whole-genome sequencing, whole-exome sequencing, and targeted panel sequencing have been applied for diagnosis of many genetic diseases, and are in the process of replacing the traditional methods of genetic analysis. Clinical exome sequencing (CES), which provides not only sequence variation data but also clinical interpretation, aids in reaching a final con...

A twelve year old girl, an established case of systemic lupus erythematosus, was referred to us suffering from diplopia and nasal speech for a period of 3 months. Neurological examination was conducted which revealed a right-sided sixth nerve palsy and a pulsatile nasopharyngeal mass. Neurodiagnostic imaging studies confirmed a giant intracavernous internal carotid aneurysm. The malady of t...
full texta novel missense mutation in the gne gene in an iranian patient with hereditary inclusion body myopathy
hereditary inclusion body myopathy (hibm) is an adult-onset hereditary myopathy, usually with distal onset and quadriceps sparing. this myopathy is autosomal recessive and associated to upd-n-acetylglucosamine-2-epimerase/n-acetylmannosamine kinase (gne) gene mutations. in this study, we report a novel gne homozygous point mutation c.1834t>g that results in amino acid substitution of cysteine 6...
full textA Novel Mutation in Exon 4 of the Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) Receptor Gene in an Iranian Familial Hypercholesterolemia Patient
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal co-dominant disorder of lipid metabolism, caused by mutations in LDL receptor gene. The penetrance of FH is almost 100%, meaning that half of the offspring of affected parents born with disease. The patients are at risk of premature coronary heart disease (CHD). There is no report about the molecular basis of FH in Iran. Identification of mutat...
