 | | For example, in autosomal dominant HSP families, there is a 50 percent risk that each child will develop this condition. | | | Fink and his colleagues also see the new gene as a key to understanding why people with HSP, spinal cord injuries, primary lateral sclerosis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's disease) all experience a progressive degeneration of certain nerve fibers in their spinal cords. | | | Though an application of that knowledge toward treatment could be years away, it is this goal that drives the research, says Fink, an associate professor in the Department of Neurology of the U-M Medical School and a member of the Geriatrics Research, Education and Clinical Center at the Ann Arbor Veterans Affairs Medical Center. |

| Â | Paraplegia, Hereditary Spastic - Trustworthy, Physician-Reviewed Information from WebMD |
| | Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a group of inherited neurological disorders characterized by progressive weakness (paraplegia) and increased muscle tone and stiffness (spasticity) of leg muscles. | | | NORD recommends that affected individuals seek the advice or counsel of his or her own personal physician(s). | | | HSP is also sometimes referred to as familial spastic paraplegia (FSP) or Strumpell-Lorraine syndrome. |

| | This result suggests that drugs that stabilize microtubule activity might provide a new approach for treating HSP. | | | This suggests that treatment of this common defect may be effective for many, perhaps most, HSP patients." | | | The organism that the researchers used in the study is the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, the "lab rat" of genetics research. |
