A member asked:
Is it typical for someone with friedreich's ataxia to have memory loss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Friedreich's ataxia is an autosomal recessive inherited disease that causes progressive damage to the nervous system, resulting in symptoms ranging from gait disturbance to speech problems; it can also lead to heart disease and diabetes, but does not affect thinking ability.
