Hereditary spastic paraplegia describes a diverse group of disorders characterized by progressive paraparesis primarily affecting lower limbs. In Troyer syndrome, an autosomal recessive form of hereditary spastic paraplegia, patients have dysarthria, distal amyotrophy, developmental delay and short stature in addition to spastic paraparesis. It is caused by a frameshift mutation (1110delA) in SPG20 leading to premature truncation of spartin, a ... [more]
