Meanings of hereditary spinal sclerosis in English

Nevertheless, inadequacy of existing FRDA-cardiac cellular models limited cardiomyopathy studies.

Conclusions: DFP modulated iron homeostasis in FRDA-hiPSC-cardiomyocytes and effectively relieved stress-stimulation related to cardiomyopathy.

Linkage data indicate that FRDA is at less than 1 cM from both markers.

FRDA is also associated with cognitive impairments.

Methods: Healthy control and FRDA patient-specific hPSC-hvCMs were derived by directed differentiation using a small molecule-based protocol reported previously.

The Friedreich ataxia phenotype is the most frequent clinical presentation.

Friedreich ataxia (FA) is an autosomal recessive degenerative disease of the nervous system of unknown biochemical cause.

Reduced expression of a mitochondrial protein called frataxin causes a neurodegenerative disorder named Friedreich Ataxia, which decreases life span in humans.

We present a linkage study of three large Friedreich ataxia families of Tunisian origin, with several multiallelic markers around D9S5 and D9S15.

Precise linkage mapping of the Friedreich ataxia locus (FRDA) in 9q13-q21 should lead to the isolation of the defective gene by positional cloning.

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.
