About FARA
The Friedreich's Ataxia Research Alliance (FARA) is a 501(c)(3), non
profit
, tax-exempt organization dedicated to the pursuit of educational,
scientific and research activities
leading to treatments for Friedreich's
ataxia."
"According to Steven Rash, chairman and chief
executive officer "Our
objective is to obtain patent protection for Power3's intellectual property
rights used in tests measuring changes among groups of biomarkers for the
early detection of neurological
diseases, cancer, etc. The Company's patent-pending technologies are
being used to develop screening
and diagnostic tests for the early detection
and treatment of disease.

Friedreich
's Ataxia is a fatal, hereditary, degenerative, neurological disease
that typically first becomes
noticeable when children are in elementary
school.
"An extraordinary explosion of research
insights has followed the
identification of the Friedreich's Ataxia gene in 1996," said U.
As we enter the tenth year following identification of the Friedreich's
Ataxia gene, excitement
is growing over the scientific advances being made, at
an ever increasing pace, toward treatments
and a cure. Additional symptoms frequently include severe heart disease,
scoliosis, and diabetes
."
Power3's tests comprises collecting blood or other samples from a patient,
analyzing a panel
of protein biomarkers, and determining whether or not the
patient has the disease based on the quantity
of the biomarkers in the
patient's sample combined with biostatistical analysis.
