Novel c.C2254T (p.Q752*) mutation in (SPG15) gene in a patient with hereditary spastic paraparesis.

Hereditary spastic paraplegias are clinically and genetically heterogeneous degenerative disorders, and pathological variants in the autosomal recessive gene are considered as very rare causes. We describe a novel mutation in gene found in a patient with autosomal recessive spastic paraplegias. The use of a 'target-gene' approach allowed us to expand the clinical spectrum associated with hereditary spastic paraplegias.
