Symptoms of SPG8

SPG8 is a rare genetic disorder that affects the nervous system. It is caused by mutations in the WASHC5 gene, which is responsible for producing a protein called strumpellin. Symptoms of SPG8 can include:

• Progressive muscle stiffness and weakness, especially in the legs
• Difficulty walking and maintaining balance
• Spasticity (muscle tightness) in the legs
• Speech difficulties
• Abnormal reflexes

Diagnosis of SPG8

Diagnosing SPG8 typically involves a combination of genetic testing and clinical evaluation. A doctor may perform a physical exam to assess muscle strength, reflexes, and coordination. They may also order imaging tests, such as an MRI or CT scan, to look for abnormalities in the brain or spinal cord.

To confirm a diagnosis of SPG8, a genetic test is usually performed to look for mutations in the WASHC5 gene. This can be done through a blood or saliva sample, which is analyzed in a laboratory.
