Complicated SPGs are accompanied by additional neurologic symptoms such as cerebellar ataxia, sensory loss, mental retardation, nystagmus, and optic atrophy (summary by Steinmuller et al., 1997).A locus for spastic paraplegia-16 has been mapped to Xq11.2-q23 (Steinmuller et al., 1997).For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of X-linked spastic paraplegia, see {303350}.
