Impaired cell structure connected with symptoms
Research Highlights
Spastin found to associate with lipid droplets
Further study may lead to therapies
Spastin role in central nervous system development
Important in the structure that houses the brainstem
Next Generation Sequencing diagnostics for HSPs
Germany leading in HSP gene testing
HSP gene testing advance in China
Success in detecting point mutations
Next generation gene testing
Helps identify non-SPG4 HSP
Sharing genetics knowledge
New software will aid progress
Calf muscle spasticity studied
Lengthening the muscle may help
Nerve conduction impairment in HSP studied
Signals to & from the brain are very different
The blood-brain barrier
