Nevertheless, some groups reported cases where ATP13A2 variants caused a late‐onset, autosomal recessive type of HSP called spastic paraplegia Type 78 (SPG78; OMIM 617225) (Kara et al. 2016; van De Warrenburg et al. 2016; Estrada‐Cuzcano et al. 2017). Here, ATP13A2 is linked to autosomal recessive spastic paraplegia type 78.
