Preferred Label : Spastic paraplegia 34, X-linked;
Symbol : SPG34;
CISMeF acronym : SPG34;
Type : Phenotype or locus, molecular basis unknown;
Description : The hereditary spastic paraplegias (SPG) are a group of clinically and genetically
diverse disorders characterized by progressive, usually severe, lower extremity spasticity;
see reviews of Fink et al. (1996) and Fink (1997). Some forms of SPG are considered
'uncomplicated,' i.e., progressive spasticity occurs in isolation; others are considered
'complicated,' i.e., progressive spasticity occurs with other neurologic features.
A locus for spastic paraplegia-34 has been mapped to Xq24-q25 (Starling et al., 2002).
