Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSPs) are characterized by progressive lower extremity spasticity due to an axonal degeneration of motor and sensory neurons. We report a four-generation pedigree segregating an autosomal dominant phenotype for HSP and showing a linkage to the SPG10 locus, coding for Kinesin family member 5A. Subsequent to a denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (dHPLC) mutation screening we found a new missense mutation 838C>T (R280C) at an invariant arginine residue in a region involved in the microtubule binding activity.
