A cryptic promoter in the first exon of the SPG4 gene directs the synthesis of the 60-kDa spastin isoform
BACKGROUND: Mutations in SPG4 cause the most common form of autosomal dominant hereditary spastic paraplegia, a neurodegenerative disease characterized by weakness and spasticity of the lower limbs due to degeneration of the corticospinal tract. SPG4 encodes spastin, a microtubule-severing ATPase be...
