Case Report of Friedreich's Ataxia and ALG1-Related Biochemical Abnormalities in a Patient With Progressive Spastic Paraplegia

Quinlan, A., Rodan, L., Barkoudah, E., Tam, A., Saffari, A., Shammas, I., Ranatunga, W., Morava-Kozicz, E., Oglesbee, D., Berry, G., Ebrahimi-Fakhari, D. and Srivastava, S. (2024), Case Report of Friedreich's Ataxia and ALG1-Related Biochemical Abnormalities in a Patient With Progressive Spastic Paraplegia. Am J Med Genet e63890. doi:10.1002/ajmg.a.63890 

 Our findings underscore the importance of considering FRDA as a differential diagnosis in cases of complex HSP and demonstrate the utility of unbiased genome sequencing approaches that include detection of trinucleotide repeat expansions for progressive motor disorders.
