Summaries for Spastic Paraplegia 79, Autosomal Recessive

About this section
UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot : 74 Spastic paraplegia 79, autosomal recessive: A form of spastic paraplegia, a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a slow, gradual, progressive weakness and spasticity of the lower limbs. Rate of progression and the severity of symptoms are quite variable. Initial symptoms may include difficulty with balance, weakness and stiffness in the legs, muscle spasms, and dragging the toes when walking. In some forms of the disorder, bladder symptoms (such as incontinence) may appear, or the weakness and stiffness may spread to other parts of the body. SPG79 is characterized by childhood onset blindness, cerebellar ataxia, nystagmus, dorsal column dysfunction, and spasticity with upper motor neuron dysfunction.

MalaCards based summary : Spastic Paraplegia 79, Autosomal Recessive, also known as neurodegeneration with optic atrophy, childhood-onset, is related to parkinson disease, late-onset, and has symptoms including myokymia, head titubation and muscular fasciculation. An important gene associated with Spastic Paraplegia 79, Autosomal Recessive is UCHL1 (Ubiquitin C-Terminal Hydrolase L1). Affiliated tissues include eye, and related phenotypes are myotonia and intention tremor

OMIM : 57 SPG79 is an autosomal recessive progressive neurologic disorder characterized by onset of spastic paraplegia and optic atrophy in the first decade of life. Additional features are variable, but may include peripheral neuropathy, cerebellar ataxia, and cognitive impairment (summary by Rydning et al., 2017). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of autosomal recessive spastic paraplegia, see SPG5A (270800). (615491)
