Ida Ertmanska changed review comment from: Many homozygous and compound heterozygous cases reported in large spastic paraplegia cohorts, with variable symptom severity and age of onset (childhood to late adulthood). Recurrent SPG7 variants: SPG7: c.1529C>T, p.Ala510Val has MAF = 0.007265 in gnomAD v4.1.0 (European population), with 44 total homozygotes reported; SPG7: c.1454_1462del, p.Arg485_Glu487del - highest frequency in gnomAD v4.1.0 = 0.0006758 (Finnish population), no homozygotes; SPG7: c.233T>A, p.Leu78Ter - MAF = 0.002778 (South Asian population), 5 homozygotes reported. SPG7: c.1045G>A, p.Gly349Ser -MAF = 0.002041 (European), 3 homozygotes in gnomAD. PMID: 39978794 Jimoh et al., 2025 - Hungarian cohort - identified 25 biallelic and 33 monoallelic cases. The most common variant was p.Leu78Ter (N = 23), followed by p. Ala510Val (N = 21).

Identified 4 heterozygous SPG7 variant carriers with an additional pathogenic variant in known spasticity genes (BSCL2, TBCE, SPAST), as well as four families with heterozygous variants in SPG7 and SPG7-interacting genes (CACNA1A, AFG3L2, and MORC2).

Western blot showed decreased SPG7 levels in patient's fibroblasts. PMID: 31068484 Coarelli et al., 2019 241 spastic paraplegia cases with SPG7 variants. LoF variants correlate with spasticity-predominant phenotype. Patients with at least one p.Ala510Val variant showed a later onset and more frequent cerebellar ataxia.

Heterozygous first-degree relatives of patients with recessive SPG7 variants were asymptomatic. PMID: 32548275 Charif et al., 2020 Identified 7 new heterozygous SPG7 variants in cases with isolated optic atrophy. All patients with SPG7 presented optic disk pallor and accordingly, reduced retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), though visual impairment was mild in all patients.

Of the 6 heterozygotes, 4/6 had PEO, 4/6 had ataxia and/or spasticity, 1/6 noted to have cerebellar atrophy. 3/6 patients were heterozygous for p.Ala510Val, with variable severity and age of onset (4-60 years old). Method: WES. PMID: 23065789 Klebe et al., 2012 Screened 135 unrelated index cases. Seq method: AFG3L2 and SPG7 sequencing only. p.Ala510Val was the most commonly detected SPG7 mutation (65%). Mostly biallelic HSP cases. 3 relatives of compound heterozygous patients, harbouring heterozygote SPG7 mutations, had mild, late-onset cerebellar signs and atrophy, or peripheral neuropathy, but no spasticity of the lower limbs.

SPG7 is associated with Spastic paraplegia 7, autosomal recessive, OMIM:607259 (accessed 8th Jan 2026). Entry for Spastic paraplegia 7 in GeneReviews (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK1107/) mentions that the possibility of autosomal dominant inheritance remains controversial. SPG7 link to SPG7-related spastic paraplegia (biallelic_autosomal) is classified as definitive on the Gene2Phenotype Eye disorders panel. |

| Hereditary neuropathy or pain disorder v7.32 | SPG7 | Ida Ertmanska commented on gene: SPG7: Comment on list classification: As reviewed by Lauren Turton, an overwhelming majority of cases with SPG7-related spastic paraplegia / spinocerebellar ataxia have biallelic SPG7 variants. While several monoallelic cases have been described to date, the dominant inheritance was likely erroneously assigned due to technical study limitations (e.g., deep intronic SPG7 variant detectable only by WGS - PMID: 31854126), as well as possible digenic inheritance with variants in other spasticity-related genes / SPG7-interacting genes (emerging evidence for AFG3L2 in particular - PMID: 23065789, 33598982, 33774748). Heterozygous carriers of SPG7 variants in recessive pedigrees are usually unaffected. Based on available evidence, the mode of inheritance for SPG7 should be changed to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
