Upregulation of expression from the FRDA genomic locus for the therapy of Friedreich ataxia
13 Aug 2002
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Friedreich ataxia is a slowly progressive neurodegenerative disease caused by reduced expression of frataxin as a result of a GAA repeat expansion in the first intron of the FRDA gene. We report here the development of a sensitive cellular assay for frataxin expression from the intact FRDA locus that should facilitate the identification of potentially therapeutic pharmacological agents to treat...
