Extractions: University of Michigan Health System ANN ARBOR, MI A single mutation in a single gene is enough to slowly rob people of their ability to walk, scientists from the University of Michigan and the University of Pennsylvania report today. And while the inherited defect itself is rare, its discovery may help researchers unravel the mysteries of much more common paralyzing conditions, from spinal cord injury to Lou Gehrig's disease. In a paper published online today in the American Journal of Human Genetics, and scheduled for the journal's October issue, the U-M and Penn team describes a new gene, called NIPA1, for a form of hereditary spastic paraplegia, or HSP. HSP is the name given to a group of disorders affecting about 20,000 Americans. HSP gradually disables its victims as long nerve cells in the spinal cord degenerate and muscles weaken and become spastic. It is often misdiagnosed as other nerve disorders, including multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (also called Lou Gehrig's disease). There is no cure for HSP, which is also sometimes called familial spastic paraparesis or Strumpell-Lorain disease. Treatment is limited to physical therapy and exercise to help retain as much muscle function as possible, drug treatment to tame spastic muscle movements, and medication to treat patients' bladder and bowel control problems, and depression.

Extractions: o SSP = Spastic spinal paralysis Einteilung und Klassifizierung Genetik Als 1998 die Tom Wahlig Stiftung gegründet wurde, war noch kein die FSP verursachendes Gen bekannt. Inzwischen gibt es mehr als 27 Genorte und 10 (Stand 1/05) bekannte Gene. Die grosse Hoffnung aller Betroffenen, durch Entdeckung des Gens und dessen genaue Beschreibung incl. aller möglichen Mutationen sei man der kausalen Therapie nahe gerückt, hat sich leider nicht erfüllt. Vielmehr versuchen namhafte Wissenschaftler- Teams (siehe auch unsere Förderprojekte ) herauszufinden, was eine bestimmte Gen- Mutation in der Zelle tut und wieso es dadurch in bestimmten Fällen zu der bekannten Degeneration des 1. Neurons kommt. Das geschieht zunächst "nur" im Labor (in vitro) aber auch an Maus- oder Fliegenmodellen (in vivo). Dem Betroffenen bleibt im Moment nur das "Prinzip Hoffnung".

Autosomal dominant familial spastic paraplegia (AD-FSP) is a genetically heterogeneous neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a spasticity of the lower limbs.
