The Friedreich's Ataxia Global Patient Registry is the only worldwide registry of Friedreich's ataxia patients.

This registry currently holds the demographic and clinical information on more than 1,000 Friedreich’s ataxia patients from across the United States and internationally. This registry was created to serve the patient, physician, and research communities.

New therapies for Friedreich Ataxia are in clinical trials with encouraging results and giving real hope for people living with FA today.

Participation in the FA Global Patient Registry ensures that patients are informed about opportunities to participate in clinical research studies and kept up-to-date on the progress of clinical trials. Physicians can refer their FA patients to the patient registry so that he/she can consider registering. This is a simple online registry that individuals can complete themselves, however it is helpful if individuals have a copy of their genetic test results so that they are able to enter information about confirmation of diagnosis.

The FA Global Patient Registry is a patient recruitment and communications tool for both academic and industry sponsored clinical research studies and trials. The registry coordinator can perform queries based on the inclusion/ exclusion criteria of a study and send patients information about a study for which they qualify. Patients can be contacted by the registry coordinator via e-mail, mail, or by telephone.
