Key Points

To investigate a novel compound heterozygous mutation in the SPG7 gene that resembles amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Identification of novel mutations in the SPG7 gene through genetic analysis.
Clinical evaluation of symptoms related to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Comparison of phenotype with established cases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Observed symptoms closely aligned with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis despite SPG7 mutation.
Identified unique features of the mutation that may complicate diagnosis.
Highlighted the need for genetic testing in suspected cases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
