Friedreich's Ataxia Frequency in a Large Cohort of Genetically Undetermined Ataxia Patients
Background: Patients with suspected genetic ataxia are often tested for Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA) and/or a variety of spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs). FRDA can present with atypical, late-onset forms and so may be missed in the diagnostic process.

Genetic screening for SACS, ABHD12 and PRICKLE1 mutations in ataxia patients from Southern Italy [PDF]
Genetic screening for SACS, ABHD12 and PRICKLE1 mutations in ataxia patients from Southern Italy. INTRODUCTION Autosomal recessive (AR) spinocerebellar ataxias constitute a heterogeneous group of neurodegenerative disorders mainly characterized by ...

Juvenile Huntington Disease With Cerebellar‐Predominant Atrophy Identified by Genome Sequencing [PDF]
ABSTRACT Juvenile Huntington disease accounts for a small fraction of Huntington disease cases and is driven by the largest trinucleotide repeat expansions. We describe a 6‐year‐old boy with progressive global regression, generalized dystonia, and epilepsy, in whom serial imaging showed striking cerebellar‐predominant atrophy with an initially normal ...

Novel Nrf2-Inducer Prevents Mitochondrial Defects and Oxidative Stress in Friedreich’s Ataxia Models
Friedreich’s Ataxia (FRDA) is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder, affecting dorsal root ganglia (DRG), cerebellar dentate nuclei and heart. It is caused by a GAA repeat expansion mutation within the frataxin gene (FXN).

Stage‐Specific Patterns of Imaging and Non‐Motor Biomarkers in Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 3 [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objective Advancements in disease‐modifying therapies for spinocerebellar ataxia Type 3 (SCA3) underscore the need for robust biomarkers to monitor disease progression and evaluate treatment efficacy. Although motor phenotypes have been well characterized, less is known about non‐motor and imaging‐based features across different disease stages.
