Lipoamide dehydrogenase in Friedreich's ataxia fibroblasts. 1978

S B Melançon, and M Potier, and L Dallaire, and G Fontaine, and B Grenier, and B Lemieux, and G Geoffroy, and A Barbeau

Lipoamide dehydrogenase was measured in cultivated skin fibroblasts from twelve patients with Friedreich's ataxia and nine normal controls. No difference in specific activity, subcellular distribution and Vmax or Km was observed between patients and controls.

D005621 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.
