MedGen UID:
1759445
Concept ID:
C5436637
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: SPASTIC PARAPLEGIA 83, AUTOSOMAL RECESSIVE; SPG83

Definition

Autosomal recessive spastic paraplegia-83 (SPG83) is a neurologic disorder characterized by progressive lower limb spasticity resulting in gait instability. Patients develop symptoms in the second decade, consistent with juvenile onset. Some patients may have myalgia or mild dysarthria, but the phenotype is considered to be a pure type of SPG with no additional neurologic abnormalities (summary by Husain et al., 2020). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of autosomal recessive spastic paraplegia, see SPG5A (270800). [from OMIM]
