Additional Information:

Description: (OMIM) The form of motor neuron disease designated spastic paraplegia-39 (SPG39) by Rainier et al. (2008) is an autosomal recessive progressive spastic paraplegia associated with distal upper and lower extremity wasting.
Clinical Description OMIM Rainier et al. (2008) reported a consanguineous family of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry and an unrelated nonconsanguineous family of northern European ancestry in which affected subjects developed childhood onset of insidiously progressive lower extremity spastic weakness and progressive wasting ...
Molecular genetics OMIM In affected members of 2 families with motor neuron disease, Rainier et al. (2008) detected homozygosity or compound heterozygosity for mutations in the NTE gene. Affected subjects in the consanguineous kindred were homozygous for a disease-specific NTE mutation, ...
