Linkage of autosomal recessive hereditary spastic paraplegia with mental impairment and thin corpus callosum to chromosome 15q13-15

Abstract: To date, three loci for autosomal recessive hereditary spastic paraplegia (ARHSP) linked to chromosomes 8p12‐q13, 16qter, and 15q13–15 have been characterized. We have clinically characterized 13 Japanese ARHSP families and performed genetic linkage analyses. All 13 families were classified as having the “complicated” form, which manifests with mental impairment and thin corpus callosum. Linkage to the 8p12‐q13 and 16qter loci was excluded, although 10 of the 13 families showed marker data consistent with link… Show more

“…There are several reports in the literature of white matter hyperintensities (diffuse or patchy) and corpus callosum abnormalities in association with HSP. 9,10,17,19,20,[26][27][28][29][30] Thinning of the cervical and thoracic spinal cord has been noted in HSP. 31 Volume loss is an expected finding as there is a degeneration of the longer corticospinal tracts to the spinal cord (mainly to the lower limbs) and dorsal column pathway within the spinal cord.…”

“…Consanguineous marriage is frequent and was present in 8 of 13 families studied by Shibasaki et al 5 Cerebellar ataxia and sensory loss in the distal parts of four extremities also occur in some patients. Other clinical features include spasticity and hiperreflexia in the upper limbs, muscle atrophy, pes cavus, impaired vibration sense, urinary disturbance, dysarthria, nystagmus, congenital cataracts, and cerebellar atrophy [3][4][5][6] . Disease duration influences the clinical features, since associated signs and symptoms appears as disease progresses.…”

“…The diagnostic criteria of autosomal recessive HSP with thin corpus callosum include the following: (1) inheritance consistent with autosomal recessive trait, (2) slowly progressive spastic paraparesis and mental impairment, (3) thinning of the corpus callosum as revealed by brain CT or MRI, and (4) exclusion of other disorders by MRI of the spine and brain as well as other laboratory tests 5 .…”

“…Disease causing variants in SPG11 (KIAA1840) (OMIM phenotype #604360) constitute the most frequent cause of TCCassociated HSP (41-77%) and up to for 10-20% of all AR HSP, particularly in the Mediterranean basin. 6,10,[12][13][14][15][16] Next-generation sequencing aided in the identification of many rare HSP genes. 1,17 TFG/SPG57 stands as an example of this genetic surge.…”
