Description : The hereditary spastic paraplegias (SPG, HSP) are a group of clinically and genetically
diverse inherited disorders characterized predominantly by progressive lower extremity
spasticity and weakness. SPG is classified by mode of inheritance (autosomal dominant,
autosomal recessive, and X-linked) and whether the primary symptoms occur in isolation
('uncomplicated') or with other neurologic abnormalities ('complicated'). Pure SPG4
is the most common form of autosomal dominant hereditary SPG, comprising up to 45%
of cases (Svenson et al., 2001; Crippa et al., 2006). For a general phenotypic description
and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of autosomal dominant spastic paraplegia,
see SPG3A (182600).;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
