Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The loss of function mutations (biallelic) in frataxin (FXN) has primarily been implicated in Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA), an autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia. The protein product of FXN is a nuclear-encoded mitochondrial protein required for the biogenesis of iron- clusters (Fe-S). FRDA is characterized by neurological and non-neurological features which show variable expression in affected...
