What tests does diagnosis of Friedreich's Ataxia entail?
Diagnosis of Friedreich's Ataxia typically involves genetic testing to identify the presence of mutations in the FXN gene. Additional tests such as nerve conduction studies, electromyography, and imaging studies may also be done to assess nerve function and detect certain abnormalities in the brain and spinal cord. Blood tests can help evaluate levels of certain biomarkers associated with the condition.
Of what significance is frataxin in Friedreich's ataxia?
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.
What role do genetics play in Friedreich's ataxia?
