Autosomal Dominant Spastic Paraplegia Type 8

Description

Spastic paraplegia-8 is an autosomal dominant neurologic disorder characterized by adult onset of progressive lower limb spasticity and hyperreflexia resulting in difficulty walking. Some patients may become wheelchair-bound after several decades. Other features may include upper limb spasticity, impaired vibration sense in the distal lower limbs, and urinary urgency or incontinence (summary by de Bot et al., 2013).For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of autosomal dominant spastic paraplegia, see SPG3A (OMIM ).
