Yes, they have identified over 70 different HSP genes and it is predicted that there will be over 120 HSP genes when they complete the list.

Not always, but sometimes

Most of the time but not always. Spastic Paraplegia can initiate from spinal cord injury, even traumatic brain injury, or spontaneous gene mutation, among others. One way to determine this is by having the gene test. If it comes back at SPG4, SPG17, etc., it is hereditary. If it comes back as negative, it was not Inherited.
