Abstract

The hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSP) are a large group of inherited neurologic disorders that share the primary symptom of difficulty in walking due to weakness and spasticity in the lower limbs. Spastic paraplegia-48 (SPG48) is an autosomal recessive neurologic disorder characterized by spasticity of the lower limbs resulting in gait difficulties. Biallelic mutations in AP5Z1 are known to cause this complex form of hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) referred to as SPG48 (MIM#613647). Most patients have onset in mid- or late-adulthood, although childhood onset has been reported in 1 patient. Additional features may include parkinsonism, urinary incontinence, neuropathy, and mild cognitive impairment. We report a 49-year-old male with SPG48 with a novel mutation. This is the first SPG48 case report in an Indian patient and to the best of our knowledge this mutation is the first to be reported worldwide.
