Evidence of a third locus in X-linked recessive spastic paraplegia

R Steinmüller et al. Hum Genet. 1997 Aug.

Abstract

We have investigated a family with severe X-linked spastic paraplegia and assigned the disease locus to Xq11.2-q23 by linkage and haplotype analysis. This region harbors the gene coding for proteolipid protein, which is mutated in one of the two established forms of X-linked spastic paraplegia, i.e., SPG2. We have performed extensive mutation analysis of this gene. Our failure to detect a mutation in this family suggests a third locus in X-linked recessive spastic paraplegia.
