Large-scale expansions and replication stalling of Friedreich’s ataxia GAA repeats in an experimental mammalian system
2022-07-05
Abstract excerpt
1 Human disease Friedreich’s ataxia (FRDA) is caused by large-scale expansions of (GAA)n repeats in the first intron of the FXN gene. While repeat expansions during intergenerational transmissions are causative for the disease development, somatic expansions additionally contribute to the disease progression. We and others have previously shown that (GAA)n repeats transiently pause the replication fork progressio...
