入选标准

  • Seven adult subjects with definite FRDA will be enroled in this study. Skeletal muscle will be ob-tained by an open biopsy from at baseline (untreated) and after 2 months of rhuEPO treatment after written informed consent. Treatment encompasses rhuEPO 3.000 IU (~100 IU/kg KG) three times weekly subcutaneously for 8 weeks. Specimen from the quadriceps muscle and MR spec-troscopy from the contralateral side will be obtained pre- and post rhuEPO treatment. Frataxin-levels will be assessed in lymphocytes and muscle specimen at baseline and study end-point. Fur-thermore, FACS analysis of circulating CD34+ and CD133+ cells in peripheral blood will be perfo-med bi-weekly. The numbers of CD34+ and CD133+ cells and capillary density per mm2 will be quantified in skeletal muscle at baseline and after 8 weeks EPO treatment. Biochemically, complex I, II, and III of the respiratory chain in the quadriceps muscle will be evaluated pre-and post treat-ment.
