Friedreich’s Ataxia Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Model Intergenerational GAA•TTC Triplet Repeat Instability

The inherited neurodegenerative disease Friedreich’s ataxia (FRDA) is caused by GAA•TTC triplet repeat hyper-expansions within the first intron of the FXN gene, encoding the mitochondrial protein frataxin. Long GAA•TTC repeats causes heterochromatin-mediated gene silencing and loss of frataxin in af...
