Friedreichâs ataxia (FA) is a debilitating, life-shortening, degenerative neuro-muscular disorder. About one in 50,000 people in the United States have Friedreich's ataxia. Most individuals have onset of symptoms of FA between the ages of 5 and 18 years.
Difficulty with walking is the most common initial symptom of the condition. Many people with this condition also have some form of heart disease. Approximately 75 percent of people with Friedreichâs ataxia have heart abnormalities. The most common type is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a thickening of the heart muscle. The symptoms of heart disease include heart palpitations, chest pain, and shortness of breath. Friedreichâs ataxia can eventually lead to diabetes.
