Of the other somatic genetic alterations, Eukaryotic Translation Initiation Factor 1A X-Linked (EIF1AX) gene activating mutation is found in 5–10% of FA [50,51], while telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) promoter mutation are very rare in genuine FA and occasionally present in FA with atypical features [50,52]. This evidence concerns the gene EIF1AX and Friedreich ataxia.
