Expanding SPG18 clinical spectrum: autosomal dominant mutation causes complicated hereditary spastic paraplegia in a large family

SPG18 is caused by mutations in the endoplasmic reticulum lipid raft associated 2 (ERLIN2) gene. Autosomal recessive (AR) mutations are usually associated with complicated hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP), while autosomal dominant (AD) mutations use to cause pure SPG18.
