Friedreichâs ataxia (FA) is a debilitating, life-shortening, degenerative neuro-muscular disorder. About one in 50,000 people in the United States have Friedreich's ataxia. Most individuals have onset of symptoms of FA between the ages of 5 and 18 years.
What research is being done? Friedreich's ataxia is caused by a mutation in the protein frataxin, which is involved in the function of mitochondriaâthe energy producing âpower plantsâ of the cell. Frataxin controls important steps in mitochondrial iron metabolism and overall cell iron stability.
