Adaptor Protein Complex 4-associated Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (AP-4-HSP): A Paradigm of Childhood-Onset Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia Caused By Defective Protein Trafficking
Objective: Aims of this study include: 1) to generate induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived neurons from patients with AP-4-associated HSP; 2) to characterize these neurons…A new SPG4/SPAST mutation in an Italian family with hereditary spastic paraplegia and Alzheimer’s disease
Objective: To perform a clinical and a genetic study in an Italian family with a complicated form of hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) and Alzheimer’s disease…Pathophysiologic insights into ataxia and spasticity through structural imaging of a spinocerebellar ataxia type 7 (SCA7) cohort
Objective: Correlate clinical measures of ataxia and spasticity in a SCA7 cohort with the pattern and severity of atrophy of grey matter (GM) and white…Hereditary spastic paraplegia type 31: a novel splice site donor mutation and intra-familial phenotypic variability
Objective: The aim of this study is to reveal molecular pathogenicity and genotype-phenotype correlations in Spastic Paraplegia type 31 (SPG31). Background: Mutations in REEP1 have…Spastic paraplegia type 4: a novel SPAST splice site donor mutation and expansion of the phenotype variability
Objective: The aim of this study is to reveal molecular pathogenicity and genotype-phenotype correlations in spastic paraplegia type 4 (SPG4). Background: Mutations in SPG4/SPAST represent…Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis without tendon xanthoma: a diagnostic challenge.
Objective: To describe the case of Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) without tendon xanthoma, highlighting the diagnostic challenge due to its rarity, as well as the importance…Spastic gait and mechanical energy recovery in children with hereditary spastic paraplegia
Objective: We aimed to address spastic muscle behavior under dynamic conditions in children with hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP). Background: HSPs are a clinically and genetically…A homozygous loss-of-function mutation in DNAJA3 causes hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy with spastic paraplegia (HMSN type V)
Objective: To identify a genetic cause for hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy with spastic paraplegia (HMSN type V). Background: Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) constitutes a…A clinico-genetical study in a large cohort of patients with spastic paraplegia type 4 (SPG4)
Objective: This study includes the evaluation of a comprehensive spectrum of neurological features and the mutational screening of the SPG4/SPAST gene in patients with hereditary…
