share on social media:

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.
