Mutations in the SPG3A gene cause a form of pure, early-onset autosomal dominant hereditary spastic paraplegia linked to chromosome 14q. The encoded protein, atlastin, is a putative member of the dynamin superfamily of large GTPases involved in cellular trafficking patterns. We report a new atlastin mutation causing spastic paraplegia in association with axonal neuropathy in an Italian family.
SPG3A基因的突变会导致一种与14号染色体q臂相关的纯合、早发性常染色体显性遗传性痉挛性截瘫。编码的蛋白atlastin是参与细胞运输模式的大GTP酶动力蛋白超家族的一个推定成员。我们报告了一个意大利家族中一种新的atlastin突变,该突变导致痉挛性截瘫并伴有轴索性神经病。
