Significats de herediatry spinal ataxia en anglès

The preservation of tendon reflexes distinguishes this disorder from Friedreich's ataxia.

He has used a wheelchair since Friedreich's ataxia, a muscle-wasting disease, made walking impossible.

Other important differences from Friedreich's ataxia are absence of optic atrophy, diabetes mellitus, cardiomyopathy and severe skeletal deformity.

A cluster of Friedreich's ataxia patients has been previously investigated in two neighbouring villages of the Paphos district of Cyprus.

Unexpectedly, the genes responsible for Friedreich's ataxia and a form of autosomal recessive spastic paraplegia place these diseases in the category of mitochondrial disorders.
