Friedreich's ataxia: preliminary results of some genealogical research.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A preliminary genealogical investigation of all the known ancestors from the year 1608 of 4 apparently unrelated French Canadian kindreds with Friedreich's ataxia reveals that the original ataxia gene in the province of Quebec was present within a core of no more than 10 families living in Quebec City in the mid-1600's.

Novel Missense Mitochondrial ND4L Gene Mutations in Friedreich's Ataxia
Objective(s) The mitochondrial defects in Friedreich's ataxia have been reported in many researches. Mitochondrial DNA is one of the candidates for defects in mitochondrion, and complex I is the first and one of the largest catalytic complexes of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) system. Materials and Methods We searched the mitochondrial ND4L gene for mutations by TTGE and sequencing on 30...
متن کاملDysarthria and Friedreich's ataxia: what can intelligibility assessment tell us?
BACKGROUND Friedreich's ataxia is one of the most common hereditary disorders of the nervous system. Dysarthria is a pervasive symptom of Friedreich's ataxia, yet the clinical presentation of speech symptoms remains poorly understood, leaving clinicians without the evidence required to develop therapy interventions. AIMS The research reported herein had three aims: the first was to document t...

OBJECTIVE Cardiac evaluation (clinical, electrocardiographic and echocardiographic) of 25 Brazilian patients with clinical diagnosis of Friedreich's ataxia (FA) related to the frequency and the size of GAA repeats (unstable expansion of trinucleotide repeats that results in the disease). METHODS Clinical and cardiac study including electrocardiogram and echocardiogram of all patients and mole...
متن کاملTHE CANADIAN JOURNAL OF NEUROLOGICAL SCIENCES QUEBEC COOPERATIVE STUDY OF FRIEDREICH'S ATAXIA Origin of Friedreich's Disease in Quebec
We have been able to trace 40 cases of classical Friedreich's disease from 14 previously unrelated French Canadian kindreds to one common ancestral couple arriving in New France in 1634: Jean Guyon and Mathurine Robin. One member of this couple presumably introduced one gene for Friedreich's disease into the French Canadian population. This gene has now been traced over 12 generations to both p...
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...
