Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to learn more about the disease progression in patients with a TECPR2 mutation.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A mutation in the tectonin beta-propeller repeat containing 2 (TECPR2) gene can disrupt the cellular process of autophagy resulting in neuronal cell death. This disruption leads to a form of spastic paraplegia with the additional disruption to involuntary body processes, such as respiration and thermoregulation. This study will provide valuable information about the natural progression of children with a TECPR2 mutation.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Children with a TECPR2 mutation

Children with a TECPR2 mutation, age 18 months to 12 years old.

Assessments will include collection of genetic mutation reports, functional assessments, and questionnaires. There will be a singular blood draw and skin biopsy.

No interventions assigned to this group

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Written informed consent (and assent where appropriate) before any study procedures take place;
* Male or female;
* 18 months to 12 years old, at enrollment; and
* Have a diagnosis of TECPR2-Related disorder, as defined by biochemical criteria AND/OR genetic mutation analysis, AND demonstrate clinical findings such as autophagy, developmental delay, hypotonia, or other positive findings.

Exclusion Criteria

* Subject is unable to comply with study requirements; or
* Have any other concurrent condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would make the subject unsuitable for the study.
