Abstract
Biallelic variants of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase-like (HPDL) gene have been linked to neurodegenerative disorders ranging from severe neonatal encephalopathy to early-onset spastic paraplegia. We identified a novel homozygous variant, c.340G > T (p.Gly114Cys), in the HPDL gene in two siblings with autosomal recessive hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP). Despite sharing the same likely pathogenic variant, the older sister had pure HSP, whereas her brother had severe and complicated HSP, accompanied by early-onset mental retardation and abnormalities in magnetic resonance imaging. Given the clinical heterogeneity and potential for treatable conditions in HPDL-related diseases, we emphasize the importance of genetic testing for the HPDL gene.
期刊介绍:
Neurogenetics publishes findings that contribute to a better understanding of the genetic basis of normal and abnormal function of the nervous system. Neurogenetic disorders are the main focus of the journal. Neurogenetics therefore includes findings in humans and other organisms that help understand neurological disease mechanisms and publishes papers from many different fields such as biophysics, cell biology, human genetics, neuroanatomy, neurochemistry, neurology, neuropathology, neurosurgery and psychiatry.
All papers submitted to Neurogenetics should be of sufficient immediate importance to justify urgent publication. They should present new scientific results. Data merely confirming previously published findings are not acceptable.
