Abstract

Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a rare neurodegenerative disease caused by retrograde degeneration of the corticospinal tract and posterior columns, which presents with progressive bilateral leg weakness and spasticity. HSP is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern involving over 80 causative genes. The recently identified causative gene is the ubiquitin-associated protein 1 (UBAP1)gene, which is associated with juvenile-onset pure spastic paraplegia-80 (SPG80). Here, we present a 36-year-old Filipino male with pure-form HSP caused by a nonsense mutation (NM 001171201.1:c.704 >G) in the UBAP1 gene. To our knowledge, this mutation represents a new variant associated with the UBAP1-related HSP. This case report highlights the importance of awareness among individuals and their families affected by HSP and discusses the risks for future generations and available treatment options.

一名 36 岁菲律宾男性痉挛性截瘫患者的泛素相关蛋白 1 (UBAP1) 基因突变:病例报告。
遗传性痉挛性截瘫(HSP)是一种罕见的神经退行性疾病,由皮质脊髓束和后柱逆行变性引起,表现为进行性双侧腿无力和痉挛。HSP以常染色体显性模式遗传,涉及80多个致病基因。最近发现的致病基因是泛素相关蛋白1 (UBAP1)基因,该基因与青少年发病的纯痉挛性截瘫-80 (SPG80)有关。在这里,我们报告了一位36岁的菲律宾男性,他患有由无义突变(NM 0011712011 .1:c)引起的纯HSP。704 >G)在UBAP1基因中。据我们所知,该突变代表了与ubap1相关的HSP相关的新变体。本病例报告强调了受热休克影响的个人及其家庭意识的重要性,并讨论了后代的风险和现有的治疗方案。
