Abstract
BACKGROUND Hereditary spastic paraparesis (HSP) is a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by progressive bilateral lower limb spasticity. Functional imaging studies in patients with corticospinal tract involvement have shown reorganization of motor circuitry. Our study investigates functional changes in sensorimotor brain areas in patients with HSP. METHODS Twelve subjects with HSP and 12 healthy subjects were studied. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to measure brain activation during right-hand finger tapping. Image analysis was performed using general linear model and regions of interest (ROI)-based approach. Weighted laterality indices (wLI) and anterior/posterior indicies (wAI and wPI) were calculated for predefined ROIs. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Comparing patients and controls at the same finger-tapping rate (1.8 Hz), there was increased fMRI activation in patients' bilateral posterior parietal cortex and left primary sensorimotor cortex. No differences were found when comparing patients and controls at 80% of their individual maximum tapping rates. wLI of the primary sensorimotor cortex was significantly lower in patients. Subjects with HSP also showed a relative increase in the activation of the posterior parietal and premotor areas compared with that of the primary sensorimotor cortex. Our findings demonstrate an altered pattern of cortical activation in subjects with HSP during motor task. The increased activation probably reflects reorganization of the cortical motor system.

Abstract
Hereditary spastic paraplegia with thin corpus callosum (HSP-TCC) is one of the most common complicated forms of autosomal recessive hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP). Mutation in SPG11 gene, which is mapped to chromosome 15q21, was recently found to be a major cause of this variant form of HSP. The aim of this study is to investigate SPG11 mutations and clinical manifestations in two Korean families with HSP-TCC. Direct sequencing of the 40 coding exons and boundaries of exon-intron in SPG11 gene, and descriptions of clinical findings in two nonconsanguineous families with HSP-TCC are presented. Three novel and one known compound heterozygous mutations were found in two affected families, which were not found in controls, including one deletion in exon (c.5410_5411delTG), two insertions (c.1834_1835InsT and c.2163_2164InsT), and one missense mutation (c.3291+1G>T). Both of our patients had impairments in frontal lobe functions. We present the first SPG11 mutations in Korean families, three of which are novel. SPG11 mutation should be suspected in Korean patients having HSP with TCC and executive dysfunction.

Abstract
Thirty-four different loci for hereditary spastic paraplegias have been mapped, and 16 responsible genes have been identified. Autosomal recessive forms of spastic paraplegias usually have clinically complex phenotypes but the SPG5, SPG24 and SPG28 loci are considered to be associated with 'pure' forms of the disease. Very recently, five mutations in the CYP7B1 gene, encoding a cytochrome P450 oxysterol 7-alpha hydroxylase and expressed in brain and liver, have been found in SPG5 families. We analysed the coding region and exon-intron boundaries of the CYP7B1 gene by direct sequencing in a series of 82 unrelated autosomal recessive hereditary spastic paraplegia index patients, manifesting either a pure (n = 52) or a complex form (n = 30) of the disease, and in 90 unrelated index patients with sporadic pure hereditary spastic paraplegia. We identified eight, including six novel, mutations in CYP7B1 segregating in nine families. Three of these mutations were nonsense (p.R63X, p.R112X, p.Y275X) and five were missense mutations (p.T297A, p.R417H, p.R417C, p.F470I, p.R486C), the last four clustering in exon 6 at the C-terminal end of the protein. Residue R417 appeared as a mutational hot-spot. The mean age at onset in 16 patients was 16.4 +/- 12.1 years (range 4-47 years). After a mean disease duration of 28.3 +/- 13.4 years (10-58), spasticity and functional handicap were moderate to severe in all cases. Interestingly, hereditary spastic paraplegia was pure in seven SPG5 families but complex in two. In addition, white matter hyperintensities were observed on brain magnetic resonance imaging in three patients issued from two of the seven pure families. Lastly, the index case of one family had a chronic autoimmune hepatitis while his eldest brother died from cirrhosis and liver failure. Whether this association is fortuitous remains unsolved, however. The frequency of CYP7B1 mutations were 7.3% (n = 6/82) in our series of autosomal recessive hereditary spastic paraplegia families and 3.3% (n = 3/90) in our series of sporadic pure spastic paraplegia. The recent identification of CYP7B1 as the gene responsible for SPG5 highlights a novel molecular mechanism involved in hereditary spastic paraplegia determinism.

Abstract
Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSP) constitute a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of neurodegenerative disorders characterized by slowly progressive spasticity of the lower extremities. We performed the first clinical, epidemiological and genetic study of HSP in Southern Tunisia. We investigated 88 patients belonging to 38 unrelated Tunisian HSP families. We could establish the minimal prevalence of HSP in the district of Sfax at 5.75/100,000. Thirty-one percent of the families had a pure HSP, whereas 69% had a complicated form. The mode of inheritance was almost exclusively compatible with an autosomal recessive trait (97%, 37/38). Taking into account previously published results and new data generated in this work, genetic studies revealed significant or putative linkage to known HSP loci in 13 families (34.2%) to either SPG11 (7/38, 18.4%), SPG15 (4/38, 10.5%) or to SPG4 and SPG5 in one family each. The linkage results could be validated through the identification of two recurrent truncating mutations (R2034X and M245VfsX246) in the SPG11 gene, three different mutations (Q493X, F683LfsX685 and the novel S2004T/r.?) in the SPG15 gene, the recurrent R499C mutation in the SPG4 gene as well as the new R112X mutation in the SPG5 gene. SPG11 and SPG15 are the major responsible HSP genes in Tunisia.

Abstract
A population-based, cross-sectional study was performed in southeast Norway, between January 2002 and February 2008, to identify subjects with hereditary ataxia and hereditary spastic paraplegia, and to estimate the prevalence of these disorders. Patients were recruited through colleagues, families, searches in computerized hospital archives and the National Patients' Association for Hereditary Ataxia and Spastic Paraplegia. Strict criteria were used for inclusion of familial and isolated subjects. A project neurologist examined all index subjects and clinical and genetic data were registered. The source population on January 1, 2008 was 2.63 million and the prevalence day was set as February 1, 2008. One hundred seventy-one subjects from 87 unrelated families with hereditary ataxia and 194 subjects from 65 unrelated families with hereditary spastic paraplegia were included. The total prevalence was estimated at 13.9/100 000. Hereditary ataxia prevalence in the region was estimated at 6.5/100 000: 4.2/100 000 for autosomal-dominant and 2.3/100 000 for autosomal recessive, 0.15/100 000 for Friedreich's ataxia and 0.4/100 000 for ataxia telangiectasia. Hereditary spastic paraplegia prevalence was 7.4/100 000: 5.5/100 000 for autosomal dominant-hereditary spastic paraplegia, 0.6/100 000 for autosomal recessive-hereditary spastic paraplegia and 1.3/100 000 for isolated subjects. Marked differences were found in the frequencies of hereditary ataxia subtypes compared with other countries, while those of the most common autosomal dominant-hereditary spastic paraplegia genotypes, SPG4, SPG3 and SPG31, were similar to those previously reported. Clear variations between age groups and counties were observed, but no gender differences. Mean age on prevalence day was 48 years, mean age at onset was 24 years. We present the largest population study performed on hereditary ataxia and hereditary spastic paraplegia prevalence and report a higher prevalence than expected. Better inclusion criteria and multiple search strategies may explain the observed differences.

Abstract
Autosomal recessive hereditary spastic paraplegia (AR HSP) with thin corpus callosum (TCC) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder often caused by mutations in the gene encoding for spatacsin at the SPG11 locus on chromosome 15q. The disease is characterized by progressive spastic paraparesis and mental retardation which occur during the first two decades of life and frequently with peripheral neuropathy. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reveals typical TCC with periventricular white matter changes. We describe two patients, of Turkish descent, from the same consanguineous family and affected with SPG11 in association with unusual early-onset parkinsonism. Parkinsonism occurred during the very early stages of SPG11 in both patients, being in one the inaugural symptom of the disease presented as a resting tremor with akinesia, rigidity and expressing an initial moderate levodopa-response that progressively weakened. The second patient presented a resting tremor with mild akinesia and no levodopa-response. Both patients were affected with progressive spastic paraparesis which had initially occurred at 15 and 12 years of age, respectively, in association with mild mental retardation and an axonal polyneuropathy. TCC with periventricular white matter changes (PWMC) was evident by MRI and (123)I-ioflupane SPECT was abnormal. Genetic analysis detected for both patients a new c.704_705delAT, p.H235RfsX12 homozygous mutation in SPG11. This report provides evidence that parkinsonism may initiate SPG11-linked HSP TCC and that SPG11 may cause juvenile parkinsonism.

Abstract
Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a neurodegenerative condition defined clinically by lower limb spasticity and weakness. Homozygous mutations in CYP7B1 have been identified in several consanguineous families that represented HSP type 5 (SPG5), one of the many genetic forms of the disease. We used direct sequencing and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification to screen for CYP7B1 alterations in apparently sporadic HSP patients (n = 12) as well as index patients from non-consanguineous families with recessive (n = 8) and dominant (n = 8) transmission of HSP. One sporadic patient showing HSP as well as optic atrophy carried a homozygous nonsense mutation. Compound heterozygosity was observed in a recessive family with a clinically pure phenotype. A heterozygous missense change segregated in a small dominant family. We also found a significant association of a known coding polymorphism with cerebellar signs complicating a primary HSP phenotype. Our findings suggest CYP7B1 alterations to represent a rather frequent cause of HSP that should be considered in patients with various clinical presentations.

Abstract
Mutations in the spatacsin gene have recently been identified as the genetic cause of autosomal-recessive spastic paraplegia (SPG) with thin corpus callosum, mapping to chromosome 15p13-21. While several nonsense and frameshift mutations as well as splice mutations have been identified, large genomic deletions have not yet been found, potentially due to the absence of an efficient analysis tool. After complete sequencing of 12 autosomal recessive hereditary spastic paraplegia patients with suggestive clinical signs, we were able to define nine SPG11 cases but were left with three patients in which only one SPG11 mutation could be identified by direct sequencing. In these patients, we performed high-resolution comparative genomic hybridization using a predesigned human chromosome 15 tiling array with an average spacing of 100 bp. Data analysis suggested heterozygous genomic deletion within the spatacsin gene in all three patients. In one patient, a relatively small genomic deletion (8.2 kb) could be validated by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and long-range PCR, allowing the diagnosis of the deletion of exons 31 through 34. For two patients, quantitative PCR validation could not confirm a genomic deletion. As high density tiling arrays are available for the entire human genome, we suggest this approach for the screening of heterozygous genomic deletions in candidate genes down to a few kilobases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSP) are neurodegenerative diseases mainly characterized by lower limb spasticity with additional neurological symptoms and signs in complicated forms. Among the many autosomal recessive forms, SPG11 appears to be one of the most frequent. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to select potential SPG11 patients based on phenotypes in our material, identify eventual disease-causing variants with the collaboration of laboratories abroad, estimate the frequency and spectrum of SPG11-mutations and describe their associated phenotypes. MATERIAL AND METHODS Two isolated cases and two affected members of one family with cognitive impairment and confirmed thin corpus callosum on magnetic resonance imaging were selected from our database for inclusion into a multicenter study. Results - Mutations were found in the two isolated cases but not in the proband of the family. CONCLUSION We present the first SPG11-HSP in the Norwegian population. SPG11 should be suspected in patients with isolated or recessive HSP, thin corpus callosum and mental retardation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Autosomal recessive hereditary spastic paraplegia (ARHSP) with thin corpus callosum is a distinct and usually severe form of complex hereditary spastic paraplegia classified as SPG11. Recently mutations on SPG11 gene (KIAA1840), which is localized to chromosome 15q13-q15, were shown to cause the majority of SPG11 cases. METHODS We analysed the 40 coding exons of this gene in the probands from eight families with complex ARHSP, four of these families had a thin corpus callosum and two has mild thinning. RESULTS Three families were identified with novel mutations in the SPG11 gene. One family was of Asian origin with a homozygous nonsense mutation and had a very severe phenotype but only very mild thinning of the corpus callosum. In the other two English families the parents were unrelated and the mutations were compound heterozygotes. In these two families the phenotype was mild and both probands had a thin corpus callosum. CONCLUSION Given the probable mechanism of action of the mutations in the Spatacsin gene, we discuss the probable genotype phenotype correlations in these families. This study confirms the frequent occurrence of Spatacsin mutations in complex ARHSP with genotype phenotype effects and exposes the spectrum of clinical heterogeneity in SPG11.

Abstract
Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSPs) are genetically and phenotypically heterogeneous disorders. Both "uncomplicated" and "complicated" forms have been described with various modes of inheritance. Sixteen loci for autosomal-recessive "complicated" HSP have been mapped. The SPG15 locus was first reported to account for a rare form of spastic paraplegia variably associated with mental impairment, pigmented maculopathy, dysarthria, cerebellar signs, and distal amyotrophy, sometimes designated as Kjellin syndrome. Here, we report the refinement of SPG15 to a 2.64 Mb genetic interval on chromosome 14q23.3-q24.2 and the identification of ZFYVE26, which encodes a zinc-finger protein with a FYVE domain that we named spastizin, as the cause of SPG15. Six different truncating mutations were found to segregate with the disease in eight families with a phenotype that included variable clinical features of Kjellin syndrome. ZFYVE26 mRNA was widely distributed in human tissues, as well as in rat embryos, suggesting a possible role of this gene during embryonic development. In the adult rodent brain, its expression profile closely resembled that of SPG11, another gene responsible for complicated HSP. In cultured cells, spastizin colocalized partially with markers of endoplasmic reticulum and endosomes, suggesting a role in intracellular trafficking.
