All clinical laboratory tests carried out in 4 groups of patients with the diagnosis of typical or atypical Friedreich's ataxia have been found to be within the normal range. In this prospective study of 50 patients, a number of findings previously reported to be abnormal in the literature, have not been confirmed.
