Phenotypes associated with the disease hereditary spastic paraplegia 63 (OMIM:615686):
- Skeletal muscle atrophy (HP:0003202): The presence of skeletal muscular atrophy (which is also known as amyotrophy). Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/2. (PMID:24482476)
- Hypertonia (HP:0001276): A condition in which there is increased muscle tone so that arms or legs, for example, are stiff and difficult to move. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 2/2. (PMID:24482476)
- Clonus (HP:0002169): A series of rhythmic and involuntary muscle contractions (at a frequency of about 5 to 7 Hz) that occur in response to an abruptly applied and sustained stretch. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/2. (PMID:24482476)
- Delayed ability to walk (HP:0031936): A failure to achieve the ability to walk at an appropriate developmental stage. Most children learn to walk in a series of stages, and learn to walk short distances independently between 12 and 15 months. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 2/2. (PMID:24482476)
- Gait disturbance (HP:0001288): The term gait disturbance can refer to any disruption of the ability to walk. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 2/2. (PMID:24482476)
- Hypoplasia of the corpus callosum (HP:0002079): Underdevelopment of the corpus callosum. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/2. (PMID:24482476)
- Short stature (HP:0004322): A height below that which is expected according to age and gender norms. Although there is no universally accepted definition of short stature, many refer to "short stature" as height more than 2 standard deviations below the mean for age and gender (or below the 3rd percentile for age and gender dependent norms). Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/2. (PMID:24482476)
- Babinski sign (HP:0003487): Upturning of the big toe (and sometimes fanning of the other toes) in response to stimulation of the sole of the foot. If the Babinski sign is present it can indicate damage to the corticospinal tract. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 2/2. (PMID:24482476)
- Impaired vibration sensation at ankles (HP:0006938): A decrease in the ability to perceive vibration at the ankles. Clinically, this is usually tested with a tuning fork which vibrates at 128 Hz and is applied to the malleoli of the ankles. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/2. (PMID:24482476)
- Scissor gait (HP:0012407): A type of spastic paraparetic gait in which the muscle tone in the adductors is marked. It is characterized by hypertonia and flexion in the legs, hips and pelvis accompanied by extreme adduction leading to the knees and thighs hitting, or sometimes even crossing, in a scissors-like movement. The opposing muscles (abductors) become comparatively weak from lack of use. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 2/2. (PMID:24482476)
- Abnormal periventricular white matter morphology (HP:0002518): A structural abnormality of the myelinated axons (white matter) located near the cerebral ventricles. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/1. (PMID:24482476)
- Autosomal recessive inheritance (HP:0000007): A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in individuals with two pathogenic alleles, either homozygotes (two copies of the same mutant allele) or compound heterozygotes (whereby each copy of a gene has a distinct mutant allele). Evidence: PCS. (PMID:24482476)
- Spastic paraplegia (HP:0001258): Complete loss of the ability to move the lower limbs accompanied by spasticity of the lower limbs. Evidence: PCS. (PMID:24482476)
- Intellectual disability (HP:0001249): The term intellectual disability or intellectual developmental disorder is used to describe significantly sub-average intellectual and adaptive functioning based on clinical assessment and as measured by individually administered, appropriately normed, standardized and validated tests of intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior, with onset during the developmental period from infancy through adolescence. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 0/2. (PMID:24482476)
- Hyperreflexia (HP:0001347): Hyperreflexia is the presence of hyperactive stretch reflexes of the muscles. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 2/2. (PMID:24482476)
