Abstract:
Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a group of significantly clinically and genetically heterogeneous neurodegenerative disorders, which are predominantly characterized by progressive lower limbs weakness and spasticity inducing gait abnormalities or disorders. In practice, based on the modes of inheritance, it can be divided into autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, X-linked and mitochondrial maternal inheritance. According to whether the clinical manifestations complicated or not, HSP can be divided into pure and complex form. To date, mutations in 78 distinct loci and 59 mutated gene products have been identified or reported in patients with HSP; among them 20 distinct loci and 13 mutated gene products have been found in autosomal dominant spastic paraplegia. This is a review about the genetic characteristics and research progress of autosomal dominant HSP.
