Extractions: Subscribe now >> Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP), also called familial spastic paralysis, refers to a group of genetic disorders that are characterized by progressive weakness and spasticity (stiffness) of the legs. Symptoms of HSP may occur alone or, in more complicated forms of HSP, may occur in combination with a number of other neurological symptoms. Generally, the primary feature is severe, progressive, lower extremity spasticity. The spasticity sometimes occurs with abnormalities such as optic neuropathy, retinopathy (disease of the retina), dementia, ataxia (lack of muscle control), ichthyosis (a skin disorder causing dry, rough, scaly skin), mental retardation, and deafness. There is no specific treatment to prevent, slow, or reverse HSP's progressive disability. Treatment is symptomatic. The prognosis for individuals with HSP varies greatly. Some cases are seriously disabling while others are less disabling and are compatible with a productive and full life. The majority of individuals with HSP have a normal life expectancy.

Extractions: E-News Bulletins: Aug.-Sept. June-July April-May Meet John K. Fink, MD, SPF Medical Advisor and Teepu Siddique, MD, top researchers of HSP and PLS. Also: programs on assistive technology and adaptive equipment and more. Details here The SPF is the only non-profit organization in the Americas dedicated to neurodegenerative disorders called Primary Lateral Sclerosis (PLS) and Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia* (HSP). These diseases slowly attack one's ability to walk, causing levels of disability ranging from needing a cane to a wheelchair. In PLS, they generally also rob people of their ability to use their hands and arms, and even to speak. In very rare forms of HSP, they can cause mental retardation, dementia, epilepsy or other neurological problems. The Spastic Paraplegia Foundation is a 100% volunteer-managed and operated organization devoted to finding the causes and cures for these diseases and to providing critical information and support programs to people affected by them. We are enormously grateful to our

Extractions: Research Interests Our laboratory investigates nerve degeneration in the brain and spinal cord that occurs with age and with degenerative neurologic disorders. We use molecular genetic methods to genetically map and positionally clone genes responsible for degenerative neurologic diseases; study the functions of these genes; and to create animal models in which to study the pathophysiology and develop treatments for these conditions. Recently, for example, we demonstrated that SPG3A/atlastin gene mutations and SPG6/ NIPA1 gene mutations cause two forms of the inherited spinal cord disorder, hereditary spastic paraplegia. Animal models of HSP are in development through gene targeting of HSP genes.

Though the primary feature of HSP is severe, progressive, lower extremity spasticity, in more complicated forms it can be accompanied by other neurological symptoms. These include optic neuropathy, retinopathy (diseases of the retina), dementia, ataxia (lack of muscle control), icthyosis (a skin disorder resulting in dry, rough, scaly skin), mental retardation, peripheral neuropathy, and deafness. Diagnosis is primarily by neurological examination and testing to exclude other disorders. Specialized genetic testing and diagnosis are available at some medical centers.
