Friedreich Ataxia (FA) Overview

Friedreich's ataxia is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder caused by GAA trinucleotide repeat expansion in the FXN gene, reducing frataxin protein and impairing mitochondrial iron handling, leading to oxidative neuronal injury. It presents with progressive gait and limb ataxia, dysarthria, areflexia, sensory loss, and cardiomyopathy, with scoliosis and diabetes as common systemic features. Diagnosis combines genetic confirmation with neurophysiology and cardiac imaging; cardiomyopathy severity and functional decline mark disease progression. Omaveloxolone, an Nrf2 activator, is the first approved disease-modifying therapy targeting mitochondrial dysfunction. Supportive care includes physiotherapy, orthotics, and cardiac management. Annual multisystem surveillance is essential; multidisciplinary care focused on mobility, independence, and caregiver support underpins quality-of-life management.
