Box 35, Al Khoud, Muscat, Sultanate of Oman Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a group of disorders that cause progressive spasticity of the lower limbs and are characterized by clinical and genetic heterogeneity. Five loci (8p12-q13, 14q, 16q24.3, 3q27-28, 15q13-15) for the autosomal recessive HSP (ARHSP) have been mapped and 2 genes have been identified. Several autosomal recessive HSP families with agenesis of corpus callosum and mental deterioration have been reported in the Japanese population. Most of these families were linked to chromosome 15q 13-12. We report on a large multiply consanguineous Omani family where 6 children in 2 sibships are affected with ARHSP. All presented in first 2 years of life with delayed walking, spasticity which is more pronounced in the lower limbs and developmental delay. There were no other associated abnormalities. Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the brain (MRI) in all showed agenesis/hypoplasia of corpus callosum. Linkage analysis to the known recessive loci 8q, 16q and 15q13-15 were excluded in this family indicating further genetic heterogeneity of the ARHSP with agenesis of corpus callosum.

My Profile Last updated 03/28/03 14:30 PST Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia What is Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia? Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP), also called familial spastic paralysis, refers to a group of genetic disorders that are characterized by progressive weakness and spasticity (stiffness) of the legs. Symptoms of HSP may occur alone or, in more complicated forms of HSP, may occur in combination with a number of other neurological symptoms. Generally, the primary feature is severe, progressive, lower extremity spasticity. The spasticity sometimes occurs with abnormalities such as optic neuropathy, retinopathy (disease of the retina), dementia, ataxia (lack of muscle control), ichthyosis (a skin disorder causing dry, rough, scaly skin), mental retardation, and deafness. Is there any treatment?

Protocol Number: 01-N-0241 Title: Nuclear Magnetic Spectroscopy for the Evaluation of Primary Lateral Sclerosis, Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Number: 01-N-0241 Summary: This study will use a magnetic resonance imaging technique called nuclear magnetic spectroscopy (H-MRS) to define the pathology and progression of primary lateral sclerosis, hereditary spastic paraplegia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and assess the usefulness of this technique in evaluating patients' response to therapy. H-MRS will be used to examine metabolic changes in the parts of the brain and spinal cord (motor cortex and corticospinal tract) involved in movement. Normal volunteers and patients with primary lateral sclerosis, hereditary spastic paraplegia or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis between 21 and 65 years of age may be eligible for this study. Participants will have up to five H-MRS studies, including baseline and follow-up tests. For this procedure, the subject lies on a stretcher that is moved into a strong magnetic field. Earplugs are worn to muffle the loud knocking noise that occurs during switching of radio frequencies. The subject will be asked to lie still during each scan, for 1 to 8 minutes at a time. Total scanning time varies from 20 minutes to 2 hours, with most examinations lasting between 45 and 90 minutes. Communication with the medical staff is possible at all times during the scan.

Connexin 26 DNA Sequencing Test Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (Spastin/SPG4) Evaluation Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a clinically and genetically diverse group of disorders in which the predominant symptom is insidiously progressive lower extremity weakness and spasticity. HSP may be categorized as complicated or uncomplicated and Spastin/SPG4 is the most common form of dominantly inherited, uncomplicated HSP, representing approximately 45% of all cases. More information on the Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (Spastin/SPG4) Evaluation Hereditary Peripheral Neuropathies - Now with Periaxin Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is a heterogeneous group of inherited peripheral motor and sensory neuropathies characterized by chronic distal weakness and sensory loss. Symptoms may include bony deformities of the feet, gait disturbance, incoordination, muscle cramping, and scoliosis. Onset frequently occurs at a young age, but is unpredictable and can occur at any age. Mutations in the Periaxin gene on chromosome 19q13 were recently found to cause an autosomal recessive demyelinating form of CMT, designated as CMT Type 4F. In addition, Periaxin mutations were identified as one of the causes of recessive Dejerine-Sottas Neuropathy. Mutation analysis of Periaxin is the most complicated of all CMT-related genes due to its large size, recessive inheritance pattern, and the presence of compound heterozygotes.

However, researchers around the world are moving at a rapid pace to discover all the genes responsible for HSP and to develop effective treatments and cures. Additionally, HSP community volunteers organize meetings, conferences, fundraising events and social gatherings to help others and support researchers in the fight for a cure. Thanks to the on going DNA research there may be a cure soon. Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia is not a single disorder, but a group of inherited degenerative spinal cord disorders characterized by progressive weakness and spasticity of the legs. Symptoms can occur in childhood or at any age throughout adulthood. Initial symptoms include difficulty with balance, weakness and/or stiffness in legs, muscle spasms and dragging the toes. Other symptoms, such as bladder problems, can be associated with HSP.

Familial Spastic Paraplegia (FSP) is also known as Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP), Familial Spastic Paraparesis or Strumpell-Lorrain Syndrome. The condition is rare and is caused by the inheritance of an abnormal gene from an affected parent. It has been diagnosed where no family history of the condition is known. FSP describes a group of disorders characterised by progressive stiffness (spasticity) of the legs associated with varying degrees of weakness. A number of symptoms are associated with this condition including stiffness and leg cramps which often precede the emergence of a scissoring spastic gait. What does the Familial Spastic Paraplegia Group do? A quarterly newsletter which updates members on current topics. A national meeting which includes an Annual General Meeting, lectures by FSP specialists and subsequent discussion groups. A help-line which offers advice to new members and those with problems.

The FSP Group UK Familial Spastic Paraplegia Support Group Home Newsletters Membership Forum ... About Us November 1997 Newsletter A belated welcome to the Group to all those of you who have joined us in the last few months. In previous years I would have published the names of new members in the Newsletter, but, amazingly, our domestic membership has increased by twenty-five since November last year, and so space dictates that an individual entry in the Newsletter is not practical this time. But increasing membership numbers must never become an end in itself. The prime aim of the group remains mutual support, and with increasing membership comes the hope of new ideas, new sources of information, and, hopefully, new members willing to take an active role in promoting the interests of the Group. Alan and David are the most recent in a sequence of members who have taken it upon themselves to directly fund-raise on behalf of the group. At our July meeting the group discussed what these donations could be best used for. Rather than just absorbing the donations into our current account, it was felt that some more fitting or lasting uses could be found. Suggestions to Sippy Azizollah, please, our fund-raising co-ordinator. Sippy is also looking into the possibility of producing an FSP Christmas Card.... for 1998. Not a charity card as such, but a card that would heighten FSP awareness. If you, or a member of your family, would like to submit a design for consideration, please send your creation to Sippy.

As the name suggests there are three main features: the legs become stiff (spasticity); there is a variable amount of weakness (paraplegia) and there is a strong genetic element. It is now clear there are a large number of conditions that fall under this grouping and progress has been made in identifying the genetic factors behind some of the more common forms. However, it may be some time before all the genes responsible are found and even longer before the exact molecular and cellular processes that give rise to FSP are understood. It is hoped that further research it will be possible to produce disease modifying and curative treatments. At a clinical level there are 2 forms of this condition: pure and complicated. The pure form is not associated with additional features, whereas the complicated form is clinically very variable with many different additional features. The pure form is far commoner then the complicated variety. However, it is now established that the situation at a genetic level is even more complicated with several different genes proving responsible for the pure form of FSP.

Eighteen patients were male and 11 were female. The age of onset was between 6 months and 14 years of age and within the first 3 years of life in 86 % of the patients. There was family history compatible with autosomal recessive trait in each patient except for one. The main clinical findings were progressive weakness and spasticity of the lower limbs. Mild upper limb involvement was also found in 11 cases. Moreover, 15 patients had mental retardation, 3 had ataxia, 3 had optic atrophy and 3 had epilepsy. Key-words: Familial Spastic Paraplegia, Autosomal Recessive Inheritance, Early Onset. INTRODUCTION Familial spastic paraplegia (FSP) is a hereditary disease with progressive spasticity and weakness which is more prominent in the lower limbs. FSP is degenerative in nature and affects primarily the pyramidal tracts. FSP was first described in detail by Seeligmüller in 1876 and then by Strümpell in 1880. In the following years, new cases displaying additional findings were reported in agreement with the original definition (1,2,4,16,25,31). Many authors have pointed out its uniqueness in the heredo-familial disease classification and its various clinical and genetic forms. FSP has been classified according to genetic transmission, the age of onset and clinical findings. In the literature, X-linked recessive forms are very rare, autosomal dominant transmission is very frequent and autosomal recessive transmission is moderately frequent (2-4,13,19,25 ).
