Genetic counseling may also be recommended for individuals with a family history of 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 is happening in the DNA of ataxia telangiectasia?
Ataxia-telangiectasia is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. Both copies of the ATM gene in each cell have mutations.The parents of an individual with an autosomal recessive condition each carry one copy of the mutated gene, but do not show signs and symptoms of the condition.The ATM protein assists cells in recognizing damaged or broken DNA strands and helps DNA repair by activating enzymes that fix the broken strands.But mutations in the ATM gene eliminate the function of the ATM protein.Cells in the part of the brain involved in coordinating movement and balance (the cerebellum) are particularly affected by loss of the ATM protein.

Can there be a connection between ataxia and ALS?
Yes, there can be a connection between ataxia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), as both conditions affect the nervous system. Ataxia, characterized by lack of voluntary coordination of muscle movements, can sometimes occur in ALS patients due to the degeneration of motor neurons that control muscle function. Additionally, some forms of ataxia may share genetic or pathophysiological links with ALS, leading to overlapping symptoms in certain cases. However, they are distinct conditions with different underlying mechanisms.
How is ataxia-telangiectasia diagnosed?
Diagnosis relies on recognizing the hallmarks of A-T: progressive ataxia and telangiectasia. However, this may be difficult as ataxia symptoms do appear prior to telangiectasia symptoms by several years
