A Japanese hereditary spastic paraplegia family with a rare nonsynonymous variant in the SPAST gene
Abstract Spastic paraplegia (SPG) type 4 is an autosomal dominant SPG caused by functional variants in the SPAST gene. We examined a Japanese family with three autosomal dominant SPG patients. These patients presented with typical symptoms of SPG, such as spasticity of the lower limbs. We identified...
