Charakterystyka profilu poznawczego pacjentów cierpiących na ataksję Friedreicha (CPCAF)
Friedreich's Ataxia (FA) Friedreich's Ataxia is a neurodegenerative disease caused by a homozygous expansion of the GAA triplet repeats of the frataxin gene (FXN). FA usually begins in childhood or adolescence. It affects both boys and girls. At the neurophysiological level, FA is characterised by neuronal loss affecting the dorsal root ganglia, spinal cord and cerebellum. At present, daily exercise is the only way to combat the disease. There is no cure for Friedreich's ataxia. Clinically, FA mainly combines balance, movement coordination, articulation (dysarthria) with cardiac involvement and sometimes diabetes . After a few years of evolution, walking is no longer possible. Recent data ; also indicate disturbances in information processing and cognitive functioning. In short, FA involves adolescents who progressively lose walking, writing and speech for some; however, each patient progresses differently with respect to the disease, and this is the case with respect to motor and cognitive symptoms.

Szczegółowy opis
The role of behavioural and cognitive assessment in the clinical trial The effectiveness of a treatment is ultimately determined by the elimination of the physiological cause of the disease and the alleviation of the symptoms that patients suffer. However, new treatments rarely eliminate all causes and symptoms of the disease. As long as the effectiveness of a treatment is unknown, it is subtle changes in parameters that decide whether the approach taken is worth pursuing. For a clinical trial which is supposed to evaluate the effectiveness of a treatment for Friedreich's Ataxia, it is therefore necessary to evaluate subtle changes in the functioning of the motor and cognitive system induced by the treatment. For this reason, the project is assembling a battery of tests that quantify the most important aspects of motor, cognitive and speech function in patients with FA. These tests are designed with the specific needs of FA patients in mind, i.e. on the one hand, the tests assess functions that are particularly important in view of the symptoms of Friedreich's disease indicated in the scientific literature, and on the other hand, the psychometric characteristics of the tests are adapted to the general abilities of FA patients. In this respect, it is important to point out that the expansion of the GAA repetition in people with Friedreich's disease varies from 150 to 1,000 triples (compared to 7 to 25 in the rest of the population), and that this large variation in the genotype of FA patients could potentially influence the cognitive profile of the participants. Previous studies have suggested the relationship between the number of repeats of the GAA triplet of the FXN gene and performance in cognitive assessment tests. Specifically, while in FA patients both alleles of the FXN gene contain an unusually high number of GAA repeats, performance in cognitive tests would correlate with the number of GAA repeats in the allele that contains fewer such repeats. Using this test battery, we are therefore able to achieve our main objective, i.e. to characterise the cognitive profile of FA patients as a function of the number of GAA triplet repeats of the FXN gene. Specifically, the test battery will establish whether motor, executive and speech symptoms affect patients differently according to their particular genetic characteristics.

The study will involve two groups:
- a group of adolescents and adults symptomatic with FA with a confirmed molecular diagnosis, followed in the genetics department of the Necker Hospital
- a control group comprising subjects free of any motor or cognitive impairment, recruited from healthy relatives of patients (siblings, cousins, spouses) or for adults, among healthy people who are not related to the patients but who have been made aware of the existence of this research and who would meet the eligibility criteria and consent to participate in the study.

Control Group
Comprising subjects free of any motor or cognitive impairment, recruited from healthy relatives of patients (siblings, cousins, spouses) or for adults, among healthy people who are not related to the patients but who have been made aware of the existence of this research and who would meet the eligibility criteria and consent to participate in the study. The study will take place in a single session, during a health care consultation, during which the previously selected patients will take the tests included in the battery on a computer dedicated for the study. The total duration of the test is 45 minutes. No further visits will be necessary. |

Symptomatic participants
The study will involve a group of adolescents and adults symptomatic with FA with a confirmed molecular diagnosis, followed in the genetics department of the Necker Hospital. The study will take place in a single session, during a health care consultation, during which the previously selected patients will take the tests included in the battery on a computer dedicated for the study. The total duration of the test is 45 minutes. No further visits will be necessary. The validation of the results obtained will be determined by the correlation indices between the cognitive test scores used and the demographic variables and disease parameters considered, in particular the number of GAA triplet repeats in the allele of the FXN gene that contains the fewest repeats. |
