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.

Pharmacotherapy for Friedreich Ataxia
CNS Drugs, 2009Friedreich ataxia (FA) is a progressive genetic neurological disorder associated with degeneration of the dorsal columns, spinocerebellar tracts and other regions of the nervous system. The disorder results from mutations in the gene referred to as FXN.

Mortality in Friedreich Ataxia
Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 2011Although 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 ...

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 ...

Dominant ataxias and Friedreich ataxia
Current Opinion in Neurology, 2003The present review covers recent developments in inherited ataxias. The discovery of new loci and genes has led to improved understanding of the breadth and epidemiology of inherited ataxias. This has resulted also in more rational classification schemes.

The vectorcardiogram in Friedreich's ataxia
American Heart Journal, 1974Abstract 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 ...
