Journal ArticleDOI

Mutations in BICD2 Cause Dominant Congenital Spinal Muscular Atrophy and Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia

TL;DR: Findings provide insight into the mechanism underlying both the static and the slowly progressive clinical features and the motor neuron pathology that characterize BICD2-associated diseases, and underscore the importance of the dynein-dynactin transport pathway in the development and survival of both lower and upper motor neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI

High frequency of partial SPAST deletions in autosomal dominant hereditary spastic paraplegia

TL;DR: Partial SPAST deletions, but not SPAST amplifications and SPG3A copy number aberrations, represent an underestimated cause of autosomal dominant hereditary spastic paraplegia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Extended phenotypic spectrum of KIF5A mutations: From spastic paraplegia to axonal neuropathy.

TL;DR: It is confirmed that KIF5A mutations can cause variable phenotypes ranging from HSP to CMT2, and the identification of mutations in C MT2 broadens the phenotypic spectrum and underlines the importance of KIF7A mutations, which involve degeneration of both the central and peripheral nervous systems and should be tested in HSP and CMT 2.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biallelic mutations in SORD cause a common and potentially treatable hereditary neuropathy with implications for diabetes.

TL;DR: Functional studies suggest that SORD deficiency may be treatable with aldose reductase inhibitors and may contribute to a better understanding of the pathophysiology of diabetes.
