Friedreich's ataxia protein: Phylogenetic evidence for mitochondrial dysfunction
Friedreich's ataxia is the most common inherited spinocerebellar ataxia. A decade of linkage and physical mapping studies have culminated in the identification of the Friedreich's ataxia gene.

Friedreich’s ataxia, a spinocerebellar degeneration, is an autosomal recessive disease of the cerebellum, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. Symptoms generally begin before puberty and include an ataxic gait, dysarthria, loss of reflexes, and variably nystagmus, kyphoscoliosis, and pes cavus.

Characterizing cardiac phenotype in Friedreich's ataxia: The CARFA study
International audienceBackground: Friedreich's ataxia is an autosomal recessive mitochondrial disease caused by a triplet repeat expansion in the frataxin gene (FXN), exhibiting cerebellar sensory ataxia, diabetes and cardiomyopathy.

Dysphagia in Friedreich Ataxia [PDF]
The objective of the study was to comprehensively characterise dysphagia in Friedreich ataxia (FRDA) and identify predictors of penetration/aspiration during swallowing. We also investigated the psychosocial impact of dysphagia on individuals with FRDA.

GAA repeat expansion mutation mouse models of Friedreich ataxia exhibit oxidative stress leading to progressive neuronal and cardiac pathology [PDF]
Friedreich ataxia (FRDA) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by an unstable GAA repeat expansion mutation within intron 1 of the FXN gene. However, the origins of the GAA repeat expansion, its unstable dynamics within different cells and tissues, and ...

Determinant of the cerebellar cognitive affective syndrome in Friedreich's ataxia.
Individuals with Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA) display significantly lower performances in many cognitive domains with a pattern of impairment that falls within the cerebellar cognitive affective syndrome (CCAS).SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics ...

Cardiomyopathy of Friedreich Ataxia [PDF]
AbstractFriedreich's ataxia is a rare hereditary, predominantly neurologically defined multisystem disorder of mitochondrial function. Although the gene defect has been identified, the precise pathophysiology of the deficient mitochondrial protein, frataxin, is unknown. Besides the characteristic features of spinocerebellar ataxia the heart may also be
