Abstract excerpt
Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA) is a multisystem, autosomal recessive disease caused by biallelic expansion of GAA repeats in intron 1 of the frataxin gene (FXN). While ∼96% of FRDA patients carry expanded GAA repeats on both FXN alleles, ∼4% are compound heterozygous with expanded GAA repeats on one allele and another mutation on the second allele. We generated induced pluripotent stem cells from blood lymphocytes...
