[The clinical similarities between Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP) and progressive MS, along with their analogous profiles of axonal loss in the long tracts, make the genes known to cause HSP biologically relevant candidates for the study of clinical outcome in MS. A cohort of sporadic MS cases and a set of unaffected controls were used to determine the role of HSP genes on MS susceptibility and disease severity.].
