Friedreich’s ataxia

Pediatric Neurology, 2003
Friedreich's ataxia, the most common hereditary ataxia, is caused by expansion of a GAA triplet located within the first intron of the frataxin gene on chromosome 9q13. There is a clear correlation between size of the expanded repeat and severity of the phenotype. Frataxin is a mitochondrial protein that plays a role in iron homeostasis.

Nasality in Friedreich ataxia

Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2014
Perceptual speech research in Friedreich ataxia (FRDA) has identified altered nasality as a key component of the dysarthria profile, however the incidence and severity of abnormal nasality remains unknown. Utilizing objective and perceptual methods, data on the relationship between resonance, disease duration, severity, age of onset and genetic ...

The vectorcardiogram in Friedreich's ataxia

American Heart Journal, 1974
Abstract A Frank system vectorcardiographic analysis has been performed in 10 patients with Friedreich's ataxia. None had clinical signs of heart failure nor kyphoscoliosis. The electrocardiographic patterns were abnormal in five patients showing signs of left ventricular hypertrophy with inversion of T waves and abnormal rotation of the heart axis ...

Mortality in Friedreich Ataxia

Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 2011
Although cardiac dysfunction is widely accepted as the most common cause of mortality in Friedreich ataxia (FRDA), no studies have evaluated this since the advent of specific clinical and genetic diagnostic criteria.We performed a retrospective study of FRDA patients to determine cause of death followed by a case-control analysis comparing ...

Mitochondrial pathophysiology in Friedreich's ataxia [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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 ...
