HPDL mutations was recently identified
disease which leads to hereditary spastic paraplegia to severe infantile
encephalopathy. The function of the enzyme has been now identified, and we are working
on developing a novel treatment to cure this disease.
The Gleeson Lab at UC San Diego is working
to establish an international registry of patients with HPDL and develop a
novel drug to cure HPDL defect.
Our study is
actively recruiting participants who fulfill the criteria below:
Any individuals
diagnosed with HPDL mutations with clinical diagnosis including:
- HPDL-related
spastic paraplegia (HSP)
- HPDL-related
mitochondrial encephalopathy
- Spastic
paraplegia-83 (SPG 83)
- Neurodevelopmental
disorder with progressive spasticity and brain white matter abnormalities
(NEDSWMA)
