Overview
X-ray fluorescence (HDXRF) may be helpful in the diagnosis of Friedreich's ataxia. Findings on an HDXRF suggestive of Friedreich's ataxia include: Clusters of iron-rich hot-spots with similar mass fractions and significant decrease in zinc concentration in the cytoplasm of fibroblasts of patients with friedreich's ataxia.
Other diagnostic studies
X-ray fluorescence (HDXRF) may be helpful in the diagnosis of Friedreich's ataxia. Findings on an HDXRF suggestive of Friedreich's ataxia include:[1]
- Clusters of iron-rich hot-spots with similar mass fractions in the cytoplasm of fibroblasts
- Significant decrease in zinc concentration in the cytoplasm of fibroblasts
