Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia in Alberta: Lessons from a Well‐Defined Cohort Including the Indigenous Population

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSP) are rare disorders sharing common features of leg spasticity with gait impairment. Simple and complex forms are recognized; over 50% of cases remain unsolved genetically. Little is known about the genetics of HSP among Indigenous Peoples. Objectives To describe clinical, radiological, and genetic

SPG20 protein spartin is recruited to midbodies by ESCRT-III protein Ist1 and participates in cytokinesis. [PDF]

, 2010
Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSPs, SPG1-46) are inherited neurological disorders characterized by lower extremity spastic weakness. Loss-of-function SPG20 gene mutations cause an autosomal recessive HSP known as Troyer syndrome.

A pseudo‐homozygous missense variant and Alu‐mediated exon 5 deletion in FARS2 causing spastic paraplegia 77

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology
FARS2‐associated hereditary spastic paraplegia, later onset spastic paraplegia type 77, is a rarely neurodegenerative disease. Here, we reported two affected siblings in an autosomal recessive spastic paraplegia family with a pseudo‐homozygous missense ...

Expanding the Allelic and Clinical Heterogeneity of Movement Disorders Linked to Defects of Mitochondrial Adenosine Triphosphate Synthase

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Defects of mitochondrial ATP synthase (ATPase) represent an emerging, yet incompletely understood group of neurodevelopmental diseases with abnormal movements. Objective The aim of this study was to redefine the phenotypic and mutational spectrum of movement disorders linked to the ATPase subunit‐encoding genes ATP5F1A and ATP5F1B ...

Increase of Plasma Biomarkers in Friedreich's Ataxia: Potential Insights into Disease Pathology

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Therapeutic interventions in Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA) are progressing into clinical trials, and the need for robust and easily accessible biomarkers has arisen. Objective This study aimed to consolidate preliminary findings of changes in the levels of neurofilament light (NfL), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), Tau, and ...
