Author ProfileAbstract
Friedreich ataxia is the most common inherited ataxia in the world, but
yet to be reported in black African. We report the first genetically
confirmed case in a West African family. Studying genetic diseases in
populations with diverse backgrounds may give new insights into their
pathophysiology for future therapeutic targets.12 Feb 2021Submitted to Clinical Case Reports 15 Feb 2021Submission Checks Completed
