==Overview==
The symptoms of Friedreich’s Ataxia usually develop in the second decade of life but the onset of disease may be as early as age 2 years and as late as the 8th decade, and start with progressive [[Ataxia|ataxia.]] Common complications of Friedreich’s Ataxia include: [[Aspiration pneumonia]], [[Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy]], [[Diabetic coma]], [[Embolic stroke]], [[Cerebral haemorrhage]], [[Trauma]] sequelae and [[Renal failure|renal failure.]] The presence of [[diabetes]] and [[dilated cardiomyopathy]] has a negative impact on survival of patients with Friedreich’s Ataxia. The average age of death of patients with Friedreich’s Ataxia is at 37.5 years. Depending on the extent of the disease progression at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis may vary. The presence of [[hypertrophic cardiomyopathy]] is associated with a particularly poor prognosis among patients with Friedreich’s Ataxia.

Overview

The symptoms of Friedreich’s Ataxia usually develop in the second decade of life but the onset of disease may be as early as age 2 years and as late as the 8th decade, and start with progressive ataxia. Common complications of Friedreich’s Ataxia include: Aspiration pneumonia, Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, Diabetic coma, Embolic stroke, Cerebral haemorrhage, Trauma sequelae and renal failure. The presence of diabetes and dilated cardiomyopathy has a negative impact on survival of patients with Friedreich’s Ataxia. The average age of death of patients with Friedreich’s Ataxia is at 37.5 years. Depending on the extent of the disease progression at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis may vary. The presence of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is associated with a particularly poor prognosis among patients with Friedreich’s Ataxia.

Natural history, complications and prognosis

Natural History

  • The symptoms of Friedreich’s Ataxia usually develop in the second decade of life but the onset of disease may be as early as age 2 years and as late as the 8th decade, and start with progressive ataxia.[1]

Complications

Prognosis

  • The average age of death of patients with Friedreich’s Ataxia is at 37.5 years.[8]
  • Depending on the extent of the disease progression at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis may vary.
  • The presence of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is associated with a particularly poor prognosis among patients with Friedreich’s Ataxia.[9]
