Friedreich's ataxia (FA) is an autosomal recessive condition caused by a GAA trinucleotide repeat expansion in the X25 gene on chromosome 9. We describe an unusual form of "pseudodominant" inheritance to illustrate how a diagnosis of FA in a parent does not preclude the diagnosis in the child.
弗里德赖希共济失调(FA)是一种常染色体隐性疾病,由9号染色体上X25基因中的GAA三核苷酸重复扩增引起。我们描述了一种不寻常的“假显性”遗传形式,以说明父母一方被诊断为FA并不排除孩子也被诊断为此病的可能性。
