Autosomal recessive spastic paraplegia type 64

What it is

Autosomal recessive spastic paraplegia type 64 is an extremely rare and complex form of hereditary spastic paraplegia, reported in only 4 patients from 2 families to date, characterized by spastic paraplegia (presenting between the ages of 1 to 4 years with abnormal gait) associated with microcephaly, amyotrophy, cerebellar signs (e.g. dysarthria) aggressiveness, delayed puberty and mild to moderate intellectual disability. SPG64 is due to mutations in the ENTPD1 gene (10q24.1), encoding ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase 1.

Disease

Prevalence figures describe populations, not individuals, and are often estimates from a single study. Where the figure is an incidence or a birth prevalence, it says so.

Signs and symptoms

These ranges are how often a sign appears across everyone diagnosed, not a prediction for one person — most people have some of these and not others. Orphanet also records findings that are specifically absent in this disease; those are in the data but not listed here.

ICD-10 codes

ICD-10 has no distinct code for most rare diseases, so many are filed under the nearest available one. A shared code identifies the group, not this disease — the ORPHAcode above is what identifies it.

Reached through the ICD-10 categories this disease is filed under, so these describe the broader group rather than this disease specifically.
