Prediction of the disease course in Friedreich ataxia
We explored whether disease severity of Friedreich ataxia can be predicted using data from clinical examinations. From the database of the European Friedreich Ataxia Consortium for Translational Studies (EFACTS) data from up to five examinations of 602 ...

Investigation of IFN signaling in cultured skin fibroblasts from patients with genetically confirmed mitochondrial diseases of diverse origins revealed that altered IFN signaling is an inconsistent feature of these disorders. Cytosolic accumulation of mtDNA and mtRNA was variably detected and showed little correlation with ISG scores.

Multimodal Imaging Investigation of the Dentato‐Thalamo‐Cortical Pathway in Friedreich's Ataxia
Abstract Background Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA) is a spinocerebellar neurodegenerative disorder. The dentato‐thalamo‐cortical (DTC) pathway, an important cerebellar output involved in motor control, plays a crucial role in the neural mechanisms underlying ataxia symptoms in FRDA.

Domain Specific Placebo Response in the Modified Friedreich's Ataxia Rating Scale
The placebo response in clinical trials in ataxias complicates outcome interpretation and potentially obscures genuine treatment effects. We analyzed placebo group data from past trials in Friedreich Ataxia and observed notable responses in appendicular ...

Role of Mismatch Repair Enzymes in GAA•TTC Triplet-repeat Expansion in Friedreich Ataxia Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells [PDF]
The genetic mutation in Friedreich ataxia (FRDA) is a hyperexpansion of the triplet-repeat sequence GAA•TTC within the first intron of the FXN gene. Although yeast and reporter construct models for GAA•TTC triplet-repeat expansion have been reported ...
