The most common form of autosomal dominant hereditary spastic paraplegia is caused by mutations in the gene encoding spastin (SPG4), a member of the AAA family of ATPases. In the current study, we designed a denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography based protocol for the analysis of the SPG4 gene. Using this method, we detected two novel missense mutations, 1375A>G (R459G) and 1378C>T (R460C), one previously described five bases deletion (1215_1219del) and three polymorphic changes. This study suggests that denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography would be a fast and reliable tool in the investigation of the molecular defects in the SPG4 gene

Abstract
The most common form of autosomal dominant hereditary spastic paraplegia is caused by mutations in the gene encoding spastin (SPG4), a member of the AAA family of ATPases. In the current study, we designed a denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography based protocol for the analysis of the SPG4 gene. Using this method, we detected two novel missense mutations, 1375A>G (R459G) and 1378C>T (R460C), one previously described five bases deletion (1215_1219del) and three polymorphic changes. This study suggests that denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography would be a fast and reliable tool in the investigation of the molecular defects in the SPG4 geneFile | Dimensione | Formato | |
