Symptoms Of Friedreich's Ataxia

Friedreich's ataxia is a disease characterized by control loss of the movements of the body. It results in the progressive degeneration of the nerves and muscles. It is an inherited disease derived from a mutation or defect in the FXN gene, and one copy of it has to come from both parents for an individual to develop the disease. Friedreich's ataxia is known to start in the lower regions of the body and works its way up to the arms and hands, then to the main torso of the body. The thinning and damage done to the nerves often results in a severe loss of coordination as the disease progresses to different regions throughout the body.
