“…We also carefully screened our patients for non-synonymous mutations among 61 FSP candidate genes [including 47 genes causing various types of Familial Spastic Paraplegias (AFG3L2, ALS2, AP4B1, AP4E1, AP4M1, AP4S1, AP5Z1, ATL1, BSCL2, C12orf65, CCT5, CYP2U1, CYP7B1, DDHD1, ELOVL4, ERLIN2, FA2H, GAD1, GJA1, GJC2, HSPD1, KANK1, KIAA0196, KIF1A, KIF5A, L1CAM, NIPA1, PLP1, PNPLA6, REEP1, RTN2, SLC16A2, SLC33A1, SPAST, SPG11, SPG20, SPG21, SPG7, TECPR2, VCP, VPS37A, ZFYVE26, B4GALNT1, C19orf12, GBA2, NT5C2 and ZFYVE27) [3], [8] and 14 newly proposed genes (ARL6IP1, ERLIN1, KIF1C, USP8, WDR48, AMPD2, ENTPD1, ARSI, DDHD2, PGAP1, FLRT1, RAB3GAP2, MARS and ZFR) by Novarino et al [3]. Finally, we replicated the short list of sequence variants by conventional Sanger sequencing in all available family members to exclude false positives of the high-throughput sequencing.…”
