Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA) is the most common autosomal‐recessive ataxia worldwide. It is characterized by early onset, sensory abnormalities, and slowly progressive ataxia. However, some individuals manifest the disease after the age of 25 years and are classified as late‐onset FRDA (LOFA). Therefore, we propose a transversal multimodal MRI‐based study to investigate which anatomical substrates are involved in classical (cFRDA) and LOFA.
