Abstract

A total of 8 members of two consanguineous Tunisian families affected with Friedreich’s ataxia (FA) phenotype not linked to chromosome 9 were found to have very low levels of serum vitamin E (0.5 mcg/ml cf 8 mcg/ml in controls) in a study at the Institut National de Neurologie, Tunis, and at Centers in Cyprus and France.
