Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA) is a rare, inherited, autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects the nervous system, causing progressive damage to the spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and cerebellum, leading to impaired muscle coordination (ataxia).

2024年7月19日 · What is Friedreich ataxia? Friedreich ataxia (FA) is a rare, inherited disorder that causes progressive damage to the nervous system. This can cause movement and sensory symptoms and trouble with walking and gait. In FA, nerve fibers in the spinal cord and peripheral nerves break down, becoming thinner.

Friedreich's ataxia is a rare, inherited, degenerative disease that damages the spinal cord, peripheral nerves and the cerebellum. It causes movement problems and loss of sensation due to nerve injury.

2024年10月31日 · Friedreich’s ataxia (FA) is a rare inherited condition that damages your nervous system. It causes muscle weakness, balance issues and sensory deficits that worsen over time. Symptoms most often begin in childhood but can also begin in adulthood.

Friedreich ataxia is an inherited condition that affects the nervous system and causes movement problems. People with this condition develop impaired muscle coordination (ataxia) that worsens over time. Other features include the gradual loss of strength and sensation in the arms and legs, muscle stiffness (spasticity), and impaired speech.

2020年12月6日 · Friedreich ataxia (FA) is the most common hereditary ataxia accounting for approximately 50% of all ataxia cases. It was first reported in 1863 by the German physician Nikolaus Friedreich. The disease causes neurodegeneration and manifests as a combination of difficulty in ambulation, muscle weakness, loss of sensation and proprioception, and ...

2023年10月24日 · Friedreich’s ataxia (FRDA) is a genetic, progressive, neurodegenerative movement disorder, with a typical age of onset between 10 and 15 years. Initial symptoms may include unsteady posture, frequent falling, fatigue and progressive difficulty walking due to impaired ability to coordinate voluntary movements (ataxia).

1998年12月18日 · Friedreich ataxia (FRDA) is characterized by progressive ataxia with onset from early childhood to early adulthood with mean age at onset from 10 to 15 years (range: age two years to the eighth decade) [Delatycki et al 1999b]. Ataxia manifests initially as poor balance when walking, followed by slurred speech and upper-limb ataxia.

Friedreich’s Ataxia is an inherited disease of the central nervous system. It was named after Nikolaus Friedreich, who first described it in 1863, and it was the first form of hereditary Ataxia to be distinguished from other forms of Ataxia. FA is the …
