E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation |
E.1.1 | Medical condition(s) being investigated |
Spastic paraparesis type 11 (SPG11), caused by mutations in spatacsin protein, is characterized by the association of peripheral neuropathy, parkinsonism, ataxia, cognitive impairment, hypotrophy of the corpus callosum and retinal degeneration. The disease progresses with degeneration of motor and cognitive functions up to total dependence on caregivers. At the moment there are no therapies capable of modifying its natural history and progression. |
Paraparesi spastica di tipo 11 (SPG11) è la forma di paraparesi spastica autosomica recessiva più frequente dovuta a mutazioni della proteina spatacsina. E' caratterizzata dall’ associazione di neuropatia periferica, parkinsonismo, atassia, deficit cognitivo, e degenerazione retinica. La malattia progredisce con degenerazione delle funzioni motorie e cognitive fino alla totale dipendenza dai caregivers. Al momento non vi sono terapie capaci di modificarne la storia naturale e la progressione. |

E.1.1.1 | Medical condition in easily understood language |
SPG11 is a rare, uncurable neurodegenerative disease characterized by weak and stiff legs, ataxia, dementia with progressive loss of autonomy. |
La SPG11 è una malattia genetica del cervello e dei nervi caratterizzata da debolezza e rigidità degli arti, parkinsonismo, disequilibrio, e perdita di autonomia ed è senza cura. |
