Hereditary spastic paraplegia

MedGen UID:
20844
Concept ID:
C0037773
Disease or Syndrome
Synonym: Familial spastic paraparesis
SNOMED CT: HSP - Hereditary spastic paraplegia (39912006); Spastic congenital paraplegia (39912006); Hereditary spastic paraplegia (39912006); Strumpell-Lorrain disease (39912006); Familial spastic paraplegia syndrome (39912006)
Modes of inheritance:
Autosomal recessive inheritance
MedGen UID:
141025
Concept ID:
C0441748
Intellectual Product
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in individuals with two pathogenic alleles, either homozygotes (two copies of the same mutant allele) or compound heterozygotes (whereby each copy of a gene has a distinct mutant allele).
Autosomal dominant inheritance
MedGen UID:
141047
Concept ID:
C0443147
Intellectual Product
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in heterozygotes. In the context of medical genetics, an autosomal dominant disorder is caused when a single copy of the mutant allele is present. Males and females are affected equally, and can both transmit the disorder with a risk of 50% for each child of inheriting the mutant allele.
X-linked recessive inheritance
MedGen UID:
375779
Concept ID:
C1845977
Finding
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for recessive traits related to a gene encoded on the X chromosome. In the context of medical genetics, X-linked recessive disorders manifest in males (who have one copy of the X chromosome and are thus hemizygotes), but generally not in female heterozygotes who have one mutant and one normal allele.

Definition

A genetically and clinically heterogeneous group of slowly progressive neurological disorders which in the pure form is characterized by pyramidal signs (weakness, spasticity, brisk tendon reflexes, and extensor plantar responses) predominantly affecting the lower limbs and with possible association of sphincter disturbances and deep sensory loss; and in the complex form by the addition of variable neurological or non-neurological features. [from ORDO]
