Full textHereditary spastic paraplegias (HSP) are a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of neurodegenative disorders. The predominant symptom of HSP is the degeneration of upper motoneurons and their corticospinal tract axons. They are classified genetically into autosomal dominant (ADHSP), autosomal recessive (ARHSP), and X-linked HSP forms. The clinical classification may distinguish between pure and complicated forms of HSP based on the presence of neurological or non neurological symptoms associated to spasticity. This study aims at genetic-molecular investigation of families affected by a complicated form of ARHSP with thin corpus callosum (ARHSP-TCC), families affected by a pure form of ARHSP, and apparently sporadic cases. The study of the ARHSP cases with TCC was carried out by linkage analysis. The next geneticmolecular screening of families in linkage with SPG11 locus was based on HRM, CSCE, and direct sequencing techniques. These techniques was also used for the screening of pure and complicated forms and apparently sporadic cases of HSP. In particular we performed a linkage study on 14 ARHSP-TCC families to identify a probably association between HSP and the SPG11 locus. The analysis revealed 5 pedigrees in linkage with SPG11. The next screening of 40 exons of the SPG11 gene on probands of the families revealed 5 mutations; three of these mutations were just reported in literature. After that, the remaining families with ARHSP and the apparently sporadic cases were analyzed for SPG7 and SPG5A genes. Two probands of the families, one of which complicated by TCC, were positive to mutational screening of the gene SPG5A; two identified mutations were novel. On the other hand, the SPG7 analysis has not revealed patogenetic mutations, but only polymorphisms reported in literature. These results confirm data observed in literature according to which the SPG7 gene is not a frequent cause of ARHSP while the SPG5A and SPG11 genes show an high mutational frequency in ARHSP and ARHSP-TCC (respectively 7% and 28%).

Full textThe hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSPs) are an etiologically heterogeneous group of neurological disorders which results from the selective degeneration of upper motor neurons (UMNs), of which key diagnostic clinical findings are spasticity and pyramidal weakness of lower limbs. HSP can be classified clinically according to mode of inheritance, age of onset or clinical phenotype. The disorder is inherited most often as an autosomal dominant trait, with autosomal recessive and X-linked inheritance occurring rarely and very rarely, respectively. Few epidemiological studies of HSP have been done, but prevalence is estimated at 3–10 cases per 100 000 population in western countries, in which approximately ADHSPs account for 80% of all HSPs (with SPG4 and SPG3A being the most common forms). Although genetically diverse with 46 genetic loci for HSP (of which 5 reserved) and 20 genes identified, it is often difficult to separate the disorders on clinical grounds. This phenotypic uniformity perhaps reflects a final common pathway in the disease process which results in degeneration of the corticospinal tracts and posterior columnes. Advances in recent years identifying the genes at half of these loci have suggested that disruption in any of the following: axonal transport, cytoskeleton regulation, mitochondrial function, myelin maintenance and assembly and neuronal migration may cause axonal damage in HSP. This study aims at genetic-molecular investigation of families affected by early onset forms of ADHSP, ARHSP, and apparently sporadic cases, as with “uncomplicated” or “complicated” clinical phenotype. Two point linkage analyses were performed in a ADHSP family to 8 known autosomal dominant loci (SPG3A, SPG4, SPG6, SPG8, SPG10, SPG12, SPG13, SPG31). The data indicated that the disorder in this kindred was linked to the known HSP locus SPG3A. Sequencing the SPG3A gene coding exons and flanking intronic regions disclosed a novel heterozygous missense mutation in exon 12 at nucleotide c.1246 C>T (p.Arg416Cys). The Arginine 416 is highly conserved among species. I analysed the coding region and exon–intron boundaries of 3 “early onset” HSP genes, SPG3A, SPG5A and SPG42, by direct sequencing in a total serie of 9 unrelated autosomal dominant and 3 autosomal recessive hereditary spastic paraplegia index patients, and in 18 unrelated index patients with apparently sporadic hereditary spastic paraplegia, manifesting either pure or complex forms of the disease. Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification performed in SPG3A candidate patients (probe mixtures P165-HSP-B1, MRC-Holland, The Netherlands) did not detect any pathogenic changes. By direct sequencing I identified five, including three novel, mutations, one segregating in two unrelated families, the others in apparently sporadic cases. Four of these mutations were missense: c.1246 C>T (p.R416C) and c.1243 C>T (p.R415W) in SPG3A gene, c. 995 T>C (p.F264S) and c.344C>T (p.S115F) in SPG5A gene. One resulted in a frameshift with the introduction of a premature stop codon at the C-terminal of the protein: c.1362insT (p.A453CfsX470) in SPG5A gene. Any pathogenic changes was detected in SPG42 gene. Interestingly, both early-age onset and possible anticipatory phenomena were observed in the two families showing mutation p.R416C in ATL1. These results confirm data observed in literature according to which the SPG3A and SPG5A genes show an high mutational frequency in early onset forms of ADHSP and ARHSP (respectively 20% and 7%) and apparently sporadic cases.
