Friedreich ataxia (also called FA) is a rare inherited disease that causes progressive nervous system damage and movement problems. It usually begins in childhood and leads to impaired muscle coordination (ataxia) that worsens over time.
Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA) is a genetic, progressive, neurodegenerative movement disorder, with a typical age of onset between 10 and 15 years. Initial symptoms may include unsteady posture, frequent falling, and progressive difficulty in walking due to impaired ability to coordinate voluntary movements (ataxia).
ICD-10 code R27. 0 for Ataxia, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
About 15 to 20 years after symptoms emerge, many people with Friedreich's ataxia have to rely on a wheelchair. Those who have advanced ataxia might not be able to get around at all. Heart disease is the leading cause of death among people with Friedreich's ataxia. It usually becomes fatal by early adulthood.
Friedreich's ataxia is an inherited disease. It's caused by a problem in a gene called FXN. It's a recessive genetic disorder. This means you need to get a copy of the gene defect from both parents to be affected.
FRDA affects one in 50,000 people in the United States and is the most common inherited ataxia. Rates are highest in people of Western European descent. The condition is named after German physician Nikolaus Friedreich, who first described it in the 1860s.
Ataxia describes poor muscle control that causes clumsy voluntary movements. It may cause difficulty with walking and balance, hand coordination, speech and swallowing, and eye movements. Ataxia usually results from damage to the part of the brain that controls muscle coordination (cerebellum) or its connections.
A disorder characterized by lack of coordination of muscle movements resulting in the impairment or inability to perform voluntary activities.
The diagnosis code for apraxia is R48. 2.
The symptoms of Friedreich's ataxia usually get gradually worse over many years. People with the condition tend to have a shorter life expectancy than normal. Many people live until at least their 30s, and some can live into their 60s or beyond.
The disorder is progressive, with a mean duration of 15-20 years. More than 95% of patients are wheelchair bound by age 45 years. Commonly, patients survive to 25-30 years of age, although some patients have survived into the sixth and seventh decades, especially if they are free of heart disease and diabetes.
Life expectancy is generally shorter than normal for people with hereditary ataxia, although some people can live well into their 50s, 60s or beyond. In more severe cases, the condition can be fatal in childhood or early adulthood. For acquired ataxia, the outlook depends on the underlying cause.
About the ICD-10 Code for Friedreich’s Ataxia 1 G11.1 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. 2 The 2018 edition of ICD-10-CM G11.1 became effective on October 1, 2017. 3 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of G11.1 - other international versions of ICD-10 G11.1 may differ.
Friedreich's ataxia, also known as FA and FRDA, is an inherited disease causing nervous system damage and movement difficulties. Typically beginning in childhood, Friedreich’s ataxia leads to degrading muscle coordination over time. Friedreich’s ataxia affects the spinal cord and peripheral nerves. The brain’s cerebellum, which controls balance and movement, also degrades. This damage results in unsteady movements and impaired sensory functions. The condition also causes problems in the heart and spine, and some develop diabetes. The disorder does not affect intellect. Friedreich’s ataxia is caused by a mutation in the gene, FXN. The condition is recessive, only occurring when someone inherits two copies of the gene, one from each parent. Although rare, Friedreich’s ataxia is the most common form of hereditary ataxia, affecting about 1 in every 50,000 people in the United States. Both male and female children can inherit the disorder. The condition is named after Nicholaus Friedreich, the German doctor who first documented the condition in the 1860s.
Ataxia may result from impaired sensory or motor function. Sensory ataxia may result from posterior column injury or peripheral nerve diseases. Motor ataxia may be associated with cerebellar diseases; cerebral cortex diseases ; thalamic diseases; basal ganglia diseases; injury to the red nucleus; and other conditions.
