Hereditary spastic paraplegia 73(SPG73)

MedGen UID:
1800404
Concept ID:
C5568981
Disease or Syndrome
Synonym: Spastic paraplegia 73, autosomal dominant
SNOMED CT: Autosomal dominant spastic paraplegia type 73 (1187468005)
Modes of inheritance:
Autosomal dominant inheritance
MedGen UID:
141047
Concept ID:
C0443147
Intellectual Product
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in heterozygotes. In the context of medical genetics, an autosomal dominant disorder is caused when a single copy of the mutant allele is present. Males and females are affected equally, and can both transmit the disorder with a risk of 50% for each child of inheriting the mutant allele.
 
Gene (location): CPT1C (19q13.33)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0014568
OMIM®: 616282
Orphanet: ORPHA444099

Definition

A pure form of hereditary spastic paraplegia with characteristics of adult onset of crural spastic paraparesis, hyperreflexia, extensor plantar responses, proximal muscle weakness, mild muscle atrophy, decreased vibration sensation at ankles and mild urinary dysfunction. Foot deformities have been reported to eventually occur in some patients. No abnormalities are noted on brain magnetic resonance imaging and peripheral nerve conduction velocity studies. [from SNOMEDCT_US]

Clinical features

From HPO
Claw toe deformity
MedGen UID:
1841785
Concept ID:
C5826373
Anatomical Abnormality
Claw toes are characterized by hyperextension at the metatarsal-phalangeal joints and flexion of the interphalangeal joints.
Babinski sign
MedGen UID:
19708
Concept ID:
C0034935
Finding
Upturning of the big toe (and sometimes fanning of the other toes) in response to stimulation of the sole of the foot. If the Babinski sign is present it can indicate damage to the corticospinal tract.
Spastic paraplegia
MedGen UID:
20882
Concept ID:
C0037772
Disease or Syndrome
Spasticity and weakness of the leg and hip muscles.
Hyperreflexia
MedGen UID:
57738
Concept ID:
C0151889
Finding
Hyperreflexia is the presence of hyperactive stretch reflexes of the muscles.
Gait disturbance
MedGen UID:
107895
Concept ID:
C0575081
Finding
The term gait disturbance can refer to any disruption of the ability to walk.
Impaired distal vibration sensation
MedGen UID:
381262
Concept ID:
C1853767
Finding
A decrease in the ability to perceive vibration in the distal portions of the limbs.
Prolonged central motor conduction time
MedGen UID:
908394
Concept ID:
C4229185
Finding
Increased duration of the central motor conduction time (CMCT). The CMCT estimates the conduction time of corticospinal fibers between motor cortex and spinal (or bulbar) motoneurons. It includes the times for excitation of cortical cells, conduction via the corticobulbar-corticospinal tract and excitation of the motoneuron sufficient to reach its firing threshold. CMCT is calculated by subtracting the peripheral conduction time from the MEP latency recorded after cortical stimulation.
Proximal muscle weakness
MedGen UID:
113169
Concept ID:
C0221629
Finding
A lack of strength of the proximal muscles.
Muscular atrophy
MedGen UID:
892680
Concept ID:
C0541794
Pathologic Function
The presence of skeletal muscular atrophy (which is also known as amyotrophy).
