Ziekten en aandoeningen Friedreich-ataxia (FA) Friedreich-ataxia (FA) Korte beschrijving FA is een aangeboren ziekte waarbij geleidelijk het weefsel van de kleine hersenen, het ruggemerg en de gevoelszenuwen wordt afgebroken. Als gevolg van deze afbraak treedt functieverlies van het zenuwstelsel op. De klachten beginnen voor het 20e levensjaar. Er ontstaan in ernst toenemende coördinatiestoornissen, stoornissen in het gevoel, spraakstoornissen en doofheid. Bij 10% bestaat diabetes mellitus (suikerziekte). Bovendien ontwikkelt zich een afwijking van de hartspier, waardoor een stoornis in de functie van het hart kan ontstaan. Dit is de meest voorkomende oorzaak van overlijden. De gemiddelde levensverwachting is op dit moment boven de 30 jaar. Diagnose Naast het hebben van bovengenoemde kenmerken, wordt de diagnose bevestigd door neurologisch en genetisch onderzoek. Behandeling Een aangeboren aandoening is niet te genezen. De behandeling richt zich voor zover mogelijk op vermindering en verlichting van de klachten. Voorkomen Deze aandoening komt bij 1-2 per 100.000 mensen voor.

Resources Definition Friedreich's ataxia (FA) is an inherited, progressive nervous system disorder causing loss of balance and coordination. Description Ataxia is a condition marked by impaired coordination. Friedreich's ataxia is the most common inherited ataxia, affecting between 3,000-5,000 people in the United States. FA is an autosomal recessive disease, which means that two defective gene copies must be inherited to develop symptoms, one from each parent. A person with only one defective gene copy will not show signs of FA, but may pass along the gene to offspring. Couples with one child affected by FA have a 25% chance in each pregnancy of conceiving another affected child. Causes and symptoms Causes The gene for FA codes for a protein called frataxin. Normal frataxin is found in the cellular energy structures known as mitochondria, where it is thought to be involved in regulating the transport of iron. In FA, the frataxin gene on chromosome 9 is expanded with nonsense information known as a "triple repeat." This extra DNA interferes with normal production of frataxin, thereby impairing iron transport. Normally, there are 10-21 repeats of the frataxin gene. In FA, this sequence may be repeated between 200-900 times. The types of symptoms and severity of FA seems to be associated with the number of repetitions. Patients with more copies have more severe symptomatology. Researchers are still wrestling with how frataxin and the repeats on chromosome 9 are involved in causing FA. One theory suggests that FA develops in part because defects in iron transport prevent efficient use of cellular energy supplies.

Fact Sheet 17: Friedreich's Ataxia Reader: Family Alternate Names: Familial Ataxia, Friedreich's Disease, Friedreich's Tabes, Hereditary Ataxia, Spinocerebellar Ataxia and Spinal Ataxia. Description: Friedreich's Ataxia is a progressive, hereditary disease that affects the neuromuscular system, usually beginning in children or teenagers. The average age of onset is 13, with a range from 5 to 25 years of age. Symptoms of Friedreich's Ataxia are caused by the gradual deterioration of nerve cells on the back portion of the spinal nerves, spinal cord and brain. This deterioration affects speech and movement (motor coordination) producing numbness or weakness of the arms and legs, curvature of the spine, and lower limb paralysis. The patient gets progressively worse as time passes and many patients are severely disabled by their mid-twenties. However, unexplained sudden remissions of five to ten years in duration have been reported. Symptoms: Causes: Friedreich's Ataxia is caused by an inherited genetic trait. Human traits are the product of the interaction of two genes, one received from the father and one from the mother. The disease does not appear unless a person inherits the same defective gene from each parent. During 1988 scientists located a genetic marker for Friedreich's Ataxia and they hope to identify the defect and understand how it causes this disease. New treatments may then be developed to alter progression of the disease. Treatment: There is no specific medical or surgical treatment that is effective in altering the course of Friedreich's Ataxia. Medical problems associated with the symptoms may require appropriate treatment. Continuous medical supervision is recommended to avoid potential complications involving the heart, lungs, spine, bones and muscles. Prevention of pneumonia is a challenge in the care of people in the advanced stages of Friedreich's Ataxia. Patients may be more susceptible to infection and require medication, insulin for controlling diabetes, or corrective devices and drugs for vision and hearing problems.

88. Friedreich's Ataxia And I friedreich'S ataxia AND I. I friedreich's ataxia doesn't affect the partsof the brain responsible for thinking and feeling. Reasoning http://ohbother.co.uk/ataxia.htm

FRIEDREICH'S ATAXIA AND I I was diagnosed with Friedreich’s Ataxia (FA) when I was eight years of age. First are some facts and figures about FA. For more about my own experience with FA scroll down. How is it caused? FA is a rare inherited genetic disorder. As it is recessive, which means that two copies of the faulty gene must be inherited from both parents for someone to develop FA, it can lie dormant in many generations before cropping up. For instance, although each and every generation of my mother’s and father’s families must have carried the defective gene, I am the first family member to actually develop FA. This is because a carrier has to meet another carrier (as my own patents did) before their child is a risk of inheriting two defective genes and therefore developing FA. The problem lies within the genetic code on chromosome 9 and the number of GAA repeats present (these letters form part of the genetic code). These three bits of code tell the cells how to make proteins in the body. The number of GAA repeats normally ranges from 10 to 40, but if the number is exceeds 100 (as it does with those who have FA) it causes the cells to produce a lack of a protein called Frataxin. How does a lack of Frataxin cause the symptoms of FA?

92. NIH Press Release - Study May Reveal Clues To Friedreich's Ataxia - 06/12/1997 Study May Reveal Clues to friedreich's ataxia. For years friedreich’sataxia strikes about one in every 50,000 persons. Loss of http://www.nih.gov/news/pr/jun97/ninds-12.htm

NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE Thursday, Jun. 12, 1997 4:00 PM Eastern Time Marcia Vital Study May Reveal Clues to Friedreich's Ataxia For years neurologists witnessed the slow decline of their Friedreich’s ataxia patients, helpless to prevent damage to the spinal cord, heart and pancreas. The cause of the damage always eluded researchers until now. A new study in the June 13, 1997, issue of Science may offer an explanation for this neurodegenerative disease and eventually lead to the development of treatments. The study, sponsored by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke and by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, examines a yeast protein similar to the human protein coded by the Friedreich’s ataxia gene. The study traces the path of the yeast protein to the mitochondria, the energy-producing power plants of cells, and demonstrates the protein’s role in controlling the levels of iron, an essential element in cell metabolism. The absence of this protein in a cell leads to a toxic buildup of iron in the mitochondria. This "iron overload" reacts with oxygen, producing free radicals, toxic and highly reactive substances that kill the mitochondria and compromise cell metabolism. Eventually, cells shut down and die from oxidative damage to the lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, the essential structures of cells. "I’m cautiously optimistic about the finding," says Massimo Pandolfo, M.D., a co-author of the study. "Further research may give us clues to understanding the pathogenesis of this disease and lead to treatments."

Monton and Antonieta Nieto Universidad de La Laguna, Unidad de Neuropsicología, Facultad de Psicología, España Hospital de Nuestra Señora de Candelaria, Sección de Neurología, España Although recognized as one of the most common hereditary diseases of the nervous system, the neuropsychological deficits in Friedreich's ataxia (FA) have rarely been studied. A protocol was constructed to assess the major cognitive areas in patients with FA and pair-matched normal controls. Motor difficulties, dysarthria and fatigability were taken into account. Neuropsychological assessment showed decreased motor and mental reaction times, reduced verbal span, deficits in letter fluency, impaired acquisition and consolidation of verbal information, proactive interference effect, and alterations in complex visuoperceptual and visuoconstructive abilities, in comparison with the control group. Magnetic resonance images showing cerebellar atrophy in the majority of patients suggest that cerebellar degeneration and the interruption of afferent and efferent cerebellar connections could be related to the cognitive deficits shown by our patients.
