Abstract excerpt
In occasional families in whom cases of classic Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA) coexist with affected cases with retained reflexes, linkage analysis has shown that both map to the FRDA locus on chromosome 9q13-21.1. A gene X25 has been identified within the critical region of the FRDA locus, and an intronic expanded GAA trinucleotide repeat has been found in most cases of FRDA. We report two further FRDA families in...
