GABA and GSH in FRDA
2026年6月4日 更新者：Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) Estimates of Glutathione (GSH) and GABA as Biomarkers of Pathophysiology in FRDA
The goal of this study is to obtain gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glutathione (GSH) assessment derived from magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), to be used as a potential biomarker in patients with Friedreich Ataxia (FRDA) prior to (Aim 1), and after taking Omaveloxolone (Aim 2). Analysis will consist of:
A. Comparison of values in controls with those of FRDA patients (Aim 1) B. Longitudinal comparison of values in FRDA patients repeated after Omaveloxolone administration at 3 time points (minimum of 6 months) (Aim 2)
FRDA participants will be asked to complete an MRS scan at 3 timepoints in order to observe GABA and GSH activity.
