The first cellular models based on frataxin missense mutations that reproduce spontaneously the defects associated with Friedreich ataxia.

The first cellular models based on frataxin missense mutations that reproduce spontaneously the defects associated with Friedreich ataxia.

BACKGROUND:Friedreich ataxia (FRDA), the most common form of recessive ataxia, is due to reduced levels of frataxin, a highly conserved mitochondrial iron-chaperone involved in iron-sulfur cluster (ISC) biogenesis. Most patients are homozygous for a (GAA)(n) expansion within the first intron of the...
