| Chromosomal Location |
9q13-q21.1 |
| Allelic Variant 1 |
606829.0001; FRIEDREICH ATAXIA |
| Identified Mutation |
(GAA)n EXPANSION; GAA triplet repeat expansions between 200 and 900 copies in the first intron of the frataxin gene occurred in 71 out of 74 FRDA patients studied by Campuzano et al. [Science 271: 1423-1427 (1996)]. In unaffected individuals the triplet expansion numbered between 7 and 20 units. |

| Remarks |
Clinically affected; onset at 9 years of age; ataxia; cardiomyopathy; areflexia; weakness; sensory loss; dysarthria; scoliosis; reduced visual acuity; homozygous for the GAA expansion in the frataxin gene with alleles of approximately 550 and 920 repeats. |
