Predominant cerebellar phenotype in spastic paraplegia 7 (SPG7)

We report a Japanese family with spastic paraplegia 7 (SPG7) that carries a deleterious homozygous p.R398X mutation in SPG7. The patients showed a predominant cerebellar ataxia phenotype. SPG7 is quite rare in Japan, but it should be included in the differential diagnosis for hereditary spastic-atax...

Sumario:We report a Japanese family with spastic paraplegia 7 (SPG7) that carries a deleterious homozygous p.R398X mutation in SPG7. The patients showed a predominant cerebellar ataxia phenotype. SPG7 is quite rare in Japan, but it should be included in the differential diagnosis for hereditary spastic-ataxic syndromes, even if the cerebellar signs are much more pronounced than the pyramidal tract signs.
