Molecular Genetics

Thomsen et al. (2010) showed that this disorder is due to a missense mutation (R560Q) at a site that is invariant from insects to mammals in the gene encoding spastin (SPAST or SPG4). In their table of reduced-fertility haplotypes, Cole et al. (2014) list this SPAST mutation as being the causal mutation for haplotype BHD.
