Abstract

Kinesins are a family of proteins for anterograde transport of the molecules from the neuronal cell body and their impairment has been widely associated with neurodegeneration of the motor neurons. KIF5A gene causes autosomal dominant spastic paraplegia 10, a neurological disorder characterized by spasticity and weakness of the lower limbs (SPG10). We carried out a screening of KIF5A gene in 50 subjects affected by HSP negative to diagnostic test for SPG4, ATL1 and REEP1. We identified a novel variation p.Ile255Met in a 58-year-old man who developed progressive gait disturbance due to spastic paraparesis complicated by axonal neuropathy.
