What is friedreich's ataxia (fa)? Friedreich's ataxia is known as a genetic neurological condition. This is a disorder that will progressively damage the nervous system. Friedreich’s ataxia (FA) is known as an autosomal recessive disease. This disease can develop only if a person inherits affected genes from each parent. If a person carries the disease they will have a recessive gene that will carry the genetic disorder like Friedreich’s ataxia. If a person is carrying the disease they will not actually have the disease but only carry it. Because they are carrying the gene, it will be passed on to their children. If the parents have the gene, the odds of their children carrying the gene are one out of two, and the odds of them actually having the disease are one out of four. The disease causes the progressive damage of the nervous system, which results in symptoms that range from speech problems to muscle weakness to heart disease. This disease is named after the physician Nicholas Friedreich. He was one of the first people described to have the condition in the 1860’s. The word ataxia is related to the coordination problems, like being clumsy, awkward movements, or unsteadiness. The ataxia in this disease is the degeneration of the nerve tissue in the spinal cord and the nerves that control the muscle movements in the arms and legs. Because of the ataxia, the spinal cord becomes thinner and the nerve cells lose more of their myelin sheath. The myelin sheath is the insular that is a covering on all the nerve cells that conducts nerve impulses.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors Friedreich''s ataxia is an autosomal recessive condition, which means that a person must inherit the defective gene from both parents in order to be affected. It is a polyneuropathy, which means that there is damage to multiple nerves The condition affects 1 in 50,000 people. Symptoms are caused by degeneration of structures in the cerebellum and spinal cord responsible for coordination, muscle movement, and some sensory functions. Vision, particularly color vision, is often mildly affected. Hearing loss occurs in about 10% of patients. Symptoms generally begin in childhood before puberty. Early symptoms include an

Fundraiser-Friedreich's ataxia This article submitted by Sally Smith on 12/30/96. Author's Email: sqsmith@surfsouth.com Seek A Miracle, MDA, is a nonprofit organization that was established through the MDA by Mrs. Rochelle Litke after her 18-year old daughter, Samantha, was diagnosed with Friedreich's Ataxia. Recently, Bruce and Cindy Olson of Seek A Miracle - Minnesota, and their family, organized a cookbook, "Cooking For a Cause," to raise money for FA research. I received my copy a couple of weeks ago and was intrigued by the many recipes from family and friends (nationwide) of FA patients. My mom contributed several recipes, including Miracle cookies which are eggless (and low fat) pecan chocolate - chip cookies, and Julie Birkholz (sister of Cindy Olson) contributed her recipe, "Cheesy Meatballs," which won first prize in the 1981 Minnesota State Fair! I even discovered recipes from The Honorable and Mrs. Terry Branstad, Governor of Iowa, and Dr. Giovanna Spinella (NINDS/NIH), and Cathy Moriarty, owner of Mulberry Street, Beverly Hills, CA. The cookbook contains sections of recipes from children with

Described in 1881 by the German neurologist Nicolas Friedreich, Friedreich's Ataxia is a progressing neurological disease. It is the most frequent of the hereditary Ataxias and it affects approximately 1 person out of 30'000. This disease with autosomic recessive transmission,begins generally either in childhood, adolescence or young adulthood. Clinical symptoms associate cerebellous ataxia, pyramidal syndrome with Babinski sign , abolition of reflexes, disorder of profound sensitivity, dysarthria oculomotor disorders and cardiomyopathy Other signs are inconstant, such as the presence of hollow feet, scoliosis, decrease of the auditive acuteness or diabetes. This disease has a severe evolution, with loss of autonomy, requiring the use of a wheel chair. Until now, no treatment has shown efficacy. The assumption of responsibility of the patients limits itself to monitoring and functional rehabilitation. The genetic studies, undertaken since the end of 1980, have lead to discovery in 1996 of the Friedreich's ataxia gene.

Home Kim Wilde Encyclopedia F Friedreich's Ataxia A friend of Kim's called Ruth Shearman , whom she knew since she was eight years old, died from a hereditary disease called Friedreich's Ataxia. This is a rare, inherited disease of the central nervous system first identified in the early 1860's by Nikolaus Friedreich of Heidelberg, Germany. Symptoms usually begin in childhood or youth, usually with unsteady walking or general clumsiness. Both arms and legs may become weak. Tasks requiring good co-ordination may become difficult. Writing may become impossible, and in time speech may become distorted and faint, and swallowing difficult. People with Friedreich's ataxia may also experience curvature of the spine, diabetes, problems with vision and hearing, and with the heart. They usually need a wheelchair about 15 years after the symptoms start. Friedreich's ataxia is caused when a person inherits a defective gene from both parents. This is called a recessive inheritance pattern. If only one parent contributes a defective gene, the child becomes a "carrier" of Friedreich's ataxia but never develops the disorder. Carriers often do not know they are carriers until one of their children develops Friedreich's ataxia. There are tests which will show if someone has inherited the defective gene. The normal gene expresses a protein called frataxin. The effect of the abnormality is to reduce the amount of that protein to a third or less of the levels found in unaffected people. Frataxin appears to be involved in energy production in the mitochondria, tiny bodies within each cell. They produce the energy that the cells need to function and, as a kind of by-product, free radicals. It seems that free radicals and/or excess iron may damage nerve and muscle cells in people with Friedreich's ataxia.
