Biogen, Atlas Venture latest effort to develop treatment for ataxia
Biogen, Atlas Venture latest effort to develop treatment for ataxia
Ataxion has raised $17 million in a Series A round to develop treatments for inherited versions of the disease from Atlas Venture and Biogen.
It reflects a broader life sciences industry trend of developing treatments for orphan diseases because there’s a higher barrier to entry and it allows companies to keep exclusivity for longer periods of time than conditions with larger patient populations.

Description et comparaison du phénotype des Friedreich typiques, de début tardif, et de début très tardif. C. Lecocq, K. Nguyen, J.-P. Azulay, A. Dürr, M. Pandolfo, C. Tranchant, M. Anheim; Revue Neurologique, Volume 170, Supplement 1, April 2014, Pages A149. Journées de Neurologie de langue française 2014. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.neurol.2014.01.397
La maladie de Friedreich doit être évoquée de principe et recherchée génétiquement devant toute ataxie cérébelleuse y compris en présence de phénotype atypique, d’âge de début tardif ou d’IRM cérébrale normale.
