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

Single cell morphology distinguishes genotype and drug effect in Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia
A central need for neurodegenerative diseases is to find curative drugs for the many clinical subtypes, the causative gene for most cases being unknown. This requires the classification of disease cases at the genetic and cellular level, an understanding
