Abstract

The clinical and genetic findings are described for 16 patients from a large Italian family with a variant form of hereditary spastic paraplegia and congenital arachnoid cysts inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. A molecular study has revealed a novel missense mutation, T614I, in exon 17 of SPG4, which may play a role in both focal cortical dysgenesis and neurodegeneration of the motor neurons in the corticospinal tract.
