Dysarthria in Friedreichs Ataxia: A Perceptual Analysis
The aims of this study were to: (1) evaluate the perceptual speech dimensions, speech intelligibility and dys arthria severity of a group of individuals diagnosed with Friedreich’s ataxia (FRDA); (2) determine the presence of subgroups within FRDA dysarthria; (3) investigate the relationship between the speech outcome and the clinical factors of disease progression. The study included 38 indivi...

متن کاملVery Late-Onset Friedreich Ataxia with Laryngeal Dystonia
Friedreich ataxia (FRDA) is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive gait and limb ataxia, cerebellar, pyramidal and dorsal column involvement, visual defects, scoliosis, pes cavus and cardiomyopathy. It is caused by a homozygous guanine-adenine-adenine (GAA) trinucleotide repeat expansion in intron 1 of the frataxin gene (FXN) on chromosome 9q13-q21.1. Ons...
متن کاملLate onset recessive ataxia with Friedreich's disease phenotype.
The Quebec Cooperative Study on Friedreich's ataxia required an onset before age 20 as an obligatory criterion of Friedreich's disease (FD). Harding included patients with onset before 25 years. We studied nine patients with FD phenotype but with onset ranging from 21 to 29 years (mean 24.4). Statistical analysis of the distribution and intrafamilial variation of onset age suggests that late on...
