UF Researchers Help Lead International Studies Into Two Rare Neuromuscular Disorders

Researchers at the University of Florida are partnering with colleagues from top peer institutions to advance the understanding of two rare hereditary neuromuscular disorders — Friedreich’s ataxia and Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy, or FSHD, both of which typically lead to the need for a wheelchair by young adulthood.

A UF team led by neurologist S.H. Subramony, M.D., and scientist Manuela Corti, PT, Ph.D., is helping to build a comprehensive neuroimaging and biomarker database for Friedreich’s ataxia.
