Autosomal recessive spastic paraplegia type 74 is a rare, genetic, spastic paraplegia-optic atrophy-neuropathy-related (SPOAN-like) disorder characterized by childhood onset of mild to moderate spastic paraparesis which manifests with gait impairment that very slowly progresses into late adulthood, hyperactive patellar reflex and bilateral extensor plantar response, in association with optic atrophy and typical symptoms of peripheral neuropathy, including reduced or absent ankle reflexes, lower limb atrophy and distal sensory impairment. Reduced visual acuity and pes cavus are frequently reported.
Features include: Peripheral axonal neuropathy, Babinski sign, Visual field defect, and Areflexia and 5 more.

IBA57 encodes iron-sulfur cluster assembly factor IBA57 (356 aa). Mitochondrial protein involved in the maturation of mitochondrial [4Fe-4S]-proteins in the late stage of the iron-sulfur cluster assembly pathway. Highest expression in Testis (9.4 TPM) and Brain Cerebellar Hemisphere (4.6 TPM).
Hereditary spastic paraplegia 74 is associated with mutations in the IBA57 gene on chromosome 1.
The IBA57 protein participates in Formation of 4Fe-4S cluster on ISCA1:ISCA2 and Mitochondrial iron-sulfur cluster biogenesis pathways.
IBA57 is classified as a druggable target with score 0.0.
Genetic testing for IBA57 is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
Biomarker and diagnostic research for hereditary spastic paraplegia 74 has been reported in the published literature.
Estimated prevalence: <1 in 1,000,000 (VERY_RARE).
No clinical trials have been registered for hereditary spastic paraplegia 74.
15 publications have been identified in PubMed for hereditary spastic paraplegia 74. Research spans Basic Science / Preclinical (33%), Epidemiology / Natural History (20%), and Case Report / Case Series (13%).
