In a study of the lipid composition of erythrocyte membranes in Friedreich's ataxia, the concentration of the major membrane components (phosr pholipids, cholesterol and protein) in ataxie patients, family members, and control subjects were found to be the same. The total fatty acid distribution was also normal. However, an altered distribution of phospholipid classes in erythrocytes was noted (an increase of PI + PS and a decrease of P E in Friedreich's ataxia patients).
