摘要
A 58-year-old man with optic atrophy, spastic paraparesis, axonal sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy and intestinal dysmotility harbors a novel heterozygous missense mutation in the mitochondrial import signal peptide of OPA1. The case underscores the role of OPA1 in the pathogenesis of spastic paraparesis, so far reported only in very few cases, and it adds intestinal dysmotility to the spectrum of adult-onset clinical manifestation of OPA1-associated disease.
