As reviewed by Siying Lin, there are at least eight different variants (splice-altering and nonsense) reported in seven unrelated patients with Kjellin syndrome - a form of complex hereditary spastic paraplegia with late-onset retinal degeneration. The retinal phenotype tends present around 20-30 years of age, following the onset of spasticity.
There is sufficient evidence available for the association of biallelic SPG11 variants with retinal disorders, which fits into the scope of this panel. Hence, this gene can be promoted to green rating in the next GMS update.Created: 29 Aug 2025, 10:17 a.m. | Last Modified: 29 Aug 2025, 10:17 a.m.

Kjellin syndrome is a form of complex hereditary spastic paraplegia, associated with 2 genes, SPG11 and SPG15/ZFYVE26. Patients have a consistent retinal phenotype with flecked maculopathy and associated autofluorescence changes. ZFYVE26 is already listed as a green gene on the retinal panel.
