Oxygen transport in patients with Friedreich's ataxia. 1978

M A Bureau, and Y Berthiaume, and R Begin, and D Shapcott, and B Lemieux, and M Cote

The hypothesis is that an abnormal oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve is a primary or a secondary defect in patients with Friedreich's ataxia was investigated in 12 subjects with this disease. Hemoglobin and P50 were measured and compared with age and sex matched controls. The mean hemoglobin concentration was 14.2 g% and the P50 was 26.25 torr for the patients and 13.8 g% and 26.27 torr in the controls. These results indicate that the oxygen transport system is normal in this disease and likely exclude an abnormal oxygen dissociation curve as a primary or a secondary factor in the pathophysiology of the cardiomyopathy and the neuromyopathy found in this disease.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010100 Oxygen An element with atomic symbol O, atomic number 8, and atomic weight [15.99903; 15.99977]. It is the most abundant element on earth and essential for respiration. Dioxygen,Oxygen-16,Oxygen 16
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.
