  • Title: Friedreich's ataxia.
    Author: Lubozynski MF, Roelofs RI.
    Journal: South Med J; 1975 Jun; 68(6):757-63. PubMed ID: 166449.
    Abstract:
    The clinical and pathologic findings in Friedreich's ataxia were discussed and recent literature was reviewed with respect to associated heart disease, diabetes mellitus, peripheral nerve involvement, and EEG changes. Recent research aimed toward discovering an enzyme defect or defects was reviewed and, when available, our conclusions were stated. Friedreich's ataxia remains an unexplained spinocerebellar degeneration occurring in early life, inherited in a predominantly autosomal recessive fashion, and associated with cardiac dysfunction, diabetes mellitus, and peripheral sensory nerve involvement.
