carnitine and Friedreich Ataxia

carnitine has been researched along with Friedreich Ataxia in 7 studies

Friedreich Ataxia: An autosomal recessive disease, usually of childhood onset, characterized pathologically by degeneration of the spinocerebellar tracts, posterior columns, and to a lesser extent the corticospinal tracts. Clinical manifestations include GAIT ATAXIA, pes cavus, speech impairment, lateral curvature of spine, rhythmic head tremor, kyphoscoliosis, congestive heart failure (secondary to a cardiomyopathy), and lower extremity weakness. Most forms of this condition are associated with a mutation in a gene on chromosome 9, at band q13, which codes for the mitochondrial protein frataxin. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1081; N Engl J Med 1996 Oct 17;335(16):1169-75) The severity of Friedreich ataxia associated with expansion of GAA repeats in the first intron of the frataxin gene correlates with the number of trinucleotide repeats. (From Durr et al, N Engl J Med 1996 Oct 17;335(16):1169-75)

" Primary outcome measures were mitochondrial ATP production measured as phosphocreatine recovery by 31Phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy, neurological deficits assessed by the international co-operative ataxia rating scale and cardiac hypertrophy in echocardiography."5.11L-carnitine and creatine in Friedreich's ataxia. A randomized, placebo-controlled crossover trial. ( Abele, M; Colier, WN; Klockgether, T; Kuntz-Hehner, S; Müller, K; Przuntek, H; Schillings, M; Schöls, L; Skipka, G; van Beekvelt, MC; Vorgerd, M; Zange, J, 2005)
"Friedreich's Ataxia is an autosomal recessive genetic disease causing the defective gene product, frataxin."2.72Friedreich Ataxia: current state-of-the-art, and future prospects for mitochondrial-focused therapies. ( Gonzalez-Cabo, P; Lyakhovich, A; Pagano, G; Pallardó, FV; Rodríguez, LR; Trifuoggi, M, 2021)
"Although the Friedreich's ataxia phenotype results from decreased expression of a mitochondrially targeted protein, frataxin, mitochondrial myopathy has not been described as a feature of the disease."1.31Friedreich's ataxia associated with mitochondrial myopathy: clinicopathologic report.
