Correlative analyses between mean GAA repeat sizes and patient age of death.

Abstract

<p>The mean tissue GAA tract length in FRDA patient (<b>A</b>) heart, (<b>B</b>) cerebral cortex, (<b>C</b>) spinal cord, (<b>D</b>) cerebellar cortex, and (<b>E</b>) pancreas is plotted against the patient’s age at time of death. Statistical significance was reached for spinal cord, cerebellar cortex and pancreas (p <0.05).</p
