Frequency of ZFHX3‐Mediated Spinocerebellar Ataxia 4 in a US Undiagnosed Ataxia Cohort

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Spinocerebellar ataxia 4 (SCA4) is a late‐onset dominant ataxia with neuropathy caused by exonic GGC repeat expansion in the ZFHX3 gene thought to originate from a Swedish founder event. The GC‐rich expansion is highly thermodynamically stable, posing challenges for standard clinical genetic testing methods.

Analysis of Postural Control in Sitting by Pressure Mapping in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis, Spinal Cord Injury and Friedreich’s Ataxia: A Case Series Study

Sensors, 2020
The postural control assessments in patients with neurological diseases lack reliability and sensitivity to small changes in patient functionality. The appearance of pressure mapping has allowed quantitative evaluation of postural control in sitting ...

Key Interventions in Friedreich's Ataxia and Their Impact on Patient Outcomes: A Systematic Review

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Friedreich's ataxia (FA) is a rare neurodegenerative disease with multisystemic symptoms that requires multidisciplinary care. This systematic review summarizes available pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions, their outcomes, and alignment with patient‐centered care domains, as well as their impact on these domains.

Mitochondrial pathophysiology in Friedreich's ataxia [PDF]

Journal of Neurochemistry, 2013
AbstractNeurological examination indicates that Friedreich's ataxia corresponds to a mixed sensory and cerebellar ataxia, which affects the proprioceptive pathways. Neuropathology and pathophysiology of Friedreich's ataxia involves the peripheral sensory nerves, dorsal root ganglia, posterior columns, the spinocerebellar, and corticospinal tracts of ...

NKX2‐1 Downstream Regulatory Structural Variants Explain a Substantial Proportion of Molecular Diagnoses in Patients With Benign Hereditary Chorea

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background NKX2‐1–related disorders (NKX2‐1‐RDs) classically present with a triad of neurological, endocrine, and pulmonary manifestations, including benign hereditary chorea. However, in a fraction of patients, NKX2‐1 coding variants are not detected, and variants outside the NKX2‐1 locus have been reported.

Deferiprone for the treatment of Friedreich's ataxia [PDF]

Journal of Neurochemistry, 2013
AbstractFriedreich's ataxia (FRDA) is a neurological disease related to a deficiency of the protein frataxin involved in iron–sulfur (Fe–S) cluster biogenesis. This leads to an increased cellular iron uptake accumulating in mitochondria, and a subsequently disturbed iron homeostasis.

Perianesthetic Complications in Genetic Mitochondrial Disease: A Review of Case Reports

Pediatric Anesthesia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Genetic mitochondrial diseases (GMDs) are a large group of genetically and clinically heterogeneous disorders caused by defects in genes encoding mitochondrial components. GMDs are grouped into named syndromes based on clinical presentation, for example, Leigh syndrome (LS).

Directional information flow in human frataxin defines allosteric pathways connecting the hydrophobic core to the iron‐binding ridge

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Human frataxin deficiency causes Friedreich's ataxia, yet how iron‐binding events are communicated across the protein is unclear. Using transfer entropy analysis of molecular dynamics simulations, we identify buried hydrophobic core leucines (LEU136, LEU140) as the source of directional signaling toward the iron‐binding acidic ridge.

Technologies for engineering repetitive DNA

Quantitative Biology, Volume 14, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Repetitive DNA, a fundamental architectural element of genomes, is widespread across organisms and comprises about 54% of the human genome. With advances in long‐read sequencing and bioinformatics approaches, highly repetitive sequences can now be characterized in depth.

Early onset development of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in less than 1 year in a patient with familial Friedrich's ataxia: Case report

Radiology Case Reports
Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive ataxia, dysarthria, sensory loss. While neurological symptoms are prominent, cardiac manifestations significantly contribute to mortality. Cardiomyopathy in Friedreich'
