Digenic inheritance of mutations in SPG7 and AFG3L2 causes motor neuron and cerebellar disorders, BMC Med 2026

Estiar et al, BMC Med 2026 Abstract Background: Biallelic SPG7 mutations cause one of the most common forms of hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP). Several reports have suggested that heterozygous SPG7 variants may also play a role in HSP, but also in

Diagnosis of a series of Algerian patients with hereditary spastic paraplegias, By Messaoud et al, Neurogenet 2025

Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSPs) are a heterogeneous group of neurodegenerative diseases that include more than 90 genetic forms. The diagnosis of HSPs is challenging owing to their exceptional clinical and genetic heterogeneity. Using whole exome sequencing (WES), we investigated the
