In this study, we aimed to examine whether digenic heterozygous mutations in SPG7 and AFG3L2 can lead to a spectrum of neurodegenerative disorders.<h4>Methods</h4>We first analyzed genome and exome sequencing data of 6644 unrelated individuals including 4817 motor neuron disorder (MND) and ataxia patients and 1827 controls. The gene discussed is SPG7; the disease is cerebellar ataxia.
