Scientists discover gene mutation involved in paraplegia and epilepsy
Researchers at the University of Manchester have made an important discovery that could help scientists understand the cause of paraplegia and epilepsy in some sufferers.
Their study pointed towards mutations in a gene that codes for an enzyme involved in the synthesis of a key membrane lipid that is particularly enriched in the brain.
The finding could contribute towards the development of treatments for people with the mutations and people with related disorders.
