Friedreich atxia, the commonest of the spinocerebellar degenerations, usually has autosomal recessive inheritance.
Manifestations include ataxia with skeletal defects such as pes cavus ( high arched foot), hammer toes and scoliosis, dysarthria, intention tremors, nystagmus, extensor plantars, loss of tendon reflexes, muscle wasting, and cardiomegaly, No effective treatment is available.
Death usually follows CCF.
