New gene for rare inherited paralysis may aid other spinal cord research, too

ew treatment options, the U-M and a few other centers offer treatment for HSP's effects, and genetic testing and counseling. Support groups and a new Spastic Paraplegia Foundation bring patients and researchers together locally and nationally. Fink serves as the SPF's medical advisor and last year hosted the first International Symposium for HSP.
