  text: Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSPs) are neurodegenerative motor neuron diseases
    characterized by progressive age-dependent loss of corticospinal motor tract function.
    Although the genetic basis is partly understood, only a fraction of cases can
    receive a genetic diagnosis, and a global view of HSP is lacking. By using whole-exome
    sequencing in combination with network analysis, we identified 18 previously unknown
    putative HSP genes and validated nearly all of these genes functionally or genetically.
    The pathways highlighted by these mutations link HSP to cellular transport, nucleotide
    metabolism, and synapse and axon development. Network analysis revealed a host
    of further candidate genes, of which three were mutated in our cohort. Our analysis
    links HSP to other neurodegenerative disorders and can facilitate gene discovery
    and mechanistic understanding of disease.
