Hereditary spastic paraplegia
Gene: CYP27A1Comment on list classification: Updated rating from Amber to Green after clinical advice from Helen Brittain, who agrees that it seems appropriate to include in terms of phenotypic overlap. Sufficient unrelatd cases (>3) to support diagnostic rating.Created: 14 Jan 2019, 9:35 a.m.
Comment on list classification: Updated rating from Red to Amber awaiting further clinical review. CYP27A1 was added to panel and rated Amber by Chris Buxton (Bristol NHS). Multiple cases from literature of spastic paresis presenting with Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX), which is caused by variants in CYP27A1.Created: 8 Jan 2019, 1:26 p.m.
PMID:29321515 (Sekijima et al, 2018) conducted a Japanese survey on Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX). The most common initial symptom was tendon xanthoma, followed next by spastic paraplegia, cognitive dysfunction, cataract, ataxia, and epilepsy.Created: 8 Jan 2019, 1:21 p.m.
PMID:27455001 (Zhang et al 2017) report a 27 year old male with mental retardation and subsequently memory lapses, ataxia, spastic paraplegia and fuzzy language. The patient was found to have a compound het variant in CYP27A1. The article is in Chinese, preventing further reading.Created: 8 Jan 2019, 1:21 p.m.
PMID:28623566 (Chen et al 2017) investigated clinical symptoms of Chinese CTX patients. Three novel variants of p.Arg513Cys, c.1477-2A>C in family 1 and p.Arg188Stop in family 4 (NM 000784.3) in CYP27A1 were found. The probands in the study manifested cerebellar ataxia, tendon xanthoma and spastic paresis in family 1 and 4.Created: 8 Jan 2019, 1:21 p.m.
PMID:26874936 (Rasafio et al 2016) report 2 Italian siblings from a consanguineous family with Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis and different phenotypes but the same G-to-A transition causing splicing alteration. The 41 year old male presented with mutacism, spastic tetraparesis, bilateral pes cavus, sialorrhea, progressive dysphagia and head dystonia. Genetic testing of other family members revealed the same variant in a sister who had mild spastic paraparesis amongst her symptoms, and a status of asymptomatic carriers of heterozygous mutation in two sisters.Created: 8 Jan 2019, 1:21 p.m.
Nicholls (2015, 25862734) describe a 27-year-old man with a 3-year history of spontaneous clonus, leg stiffness and falls (mimicing HSP) and a longer history of urinary disturbance and chronic diarrhoea. The patient was homozygous for a previously reported mutation in exon 6 of the CYP27A1 gene, c.1183C>T, R395W.Created: 8 Jan 2019, 1:08 p.m.
Comment on list classification: This gene is awaiting curator evaluation and rating.Created: 19 Dec 2018, 2:11 p.m.

Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis AR disorder of bile acid metabolism can mimic more common conditions such as hereditary spastic paraparesis, or MS particularly if the phenotype is spinal xanthomatosis where the disease causes a spastic paraplegia
Associated with rased cholestanol. paper describes homozygous, previously reported CYP27A1 variant, c.1183C>T, p.Arg395Trp (R395W)
