Preferred Label : Spastic paraplegia 24, autosomal recessive;
Symbol : SPG24;
CISMeF acronym : SPG24;
Type : Phenotype or locus, molecular basis unknown;
Description : Hodgkinson et al. (2002) reported a consanguineous Saudi Arabian family in which 5
sibs had spastic paraplegia. The paraplegic phenotype was first observed at about
1 year of age when affected individuals started to stand. Later characteristics included
a tendency to walk on tiptoes, spasticity, scissoring gait, clonus, and hyperreflexia.
Genome scan analysis showed linkage of the paraplegia to a 1.8-Mb region of chromosome
13q14 flanked by FLJ11712 and D13S270. Three of the affected individuals and 2 unaffected
individuals had sensorineural deafness, which was found to segregate as an independent
trait. *FIELD* RF 1. Hodgkinson, C. A.; Bohlega, S.; Abu-Amero, S. N.; Cupler, E.;
