Clinical Classification

Clinical Information

  • Friedreich Ataxia

    an autosomal recessive disease, usually of childhood onset, characterized pathologically by degeneration of the spinocerebellar tracts, posterior columns, and to a lesser extent the corticospinal tracts. clinical manifestations include gait ataxia, pes cavus, speech impairment, lateral curvature of spine, rhythmic head tremor, kyphoscoliosis, congestive heart failure (secondary to a cardiomyopathy), and lower extremity weakness. most forms of this condition are associated with a mutation in a gene on chromosome 9, at band q13, which codes for the mitochondrial protein frataxin. (from adams et al., principles of neurology, 6th ed, p1081; n engl j med 1996 oct 17;335(16):1169-75) the severity of friedreich ataxia associated with expansion of gaa repeats in the first intron of the frataxin gene correlates with the number of trinucleotide repeats. (from durr et al, n engl j med 1996 oct 17;335(16):1169-75)
