Evaluation of an FRDA–EGFP genomic reporter assay in transgenic mice
Mammalian Genome, 2005Friedreich ataxia is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder caused by a GAA trinucleotide expansion in the first intron of the Friedreich ataxia gene (FRDA) that causes reduced synthesis of frataxin, a mitochondrial protein likely to be involved in biosynthesis of iron-sulfur clusters.

Physical evidence for the position of the Friedreich’s ataxia locus FRDA proximal to D9S5
Cytogenetics and Cell Genetics, 2008Orientation of the Friedreich’s ataxia locus (FRDA) with respect to D9S15 and D9S5 has proved critical to the design of subsequent cloning strategies. The rarity of recombination events between FRDA and these markers, originally used to determine assignment to human chromosome region 9q13→q21.1 has necessitated the instigation of physical mapping ...

Upregulation of expression from the FRDA genomic locus for the therapy of Friedreich ataxia
The Journal of Gene Medicine, 2002AbstractBackgroundFriedreich 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 ...

Cerebral and cerebellar grey matter atrophy in Friedreich ataxia: the IMAGE-FRDA study
Journal of Neurology, 2016Friedreich ataxia (FRDA) is traditionally associated with neuropathology in the cerebellar dentate nucleus and spinal cord. Growing evidence also suggests involvement of the cerebral and cerebellar cortices, although reports of structural abnormalities remain mixed. This study assessed the structural integrity of cortical grey matter in FRDA, focussing

Characterization of E. coli MG1655 and frdA and sdhC mutants at various aerobiosis levels
Journal of Biotechnology, 2011Depending on the availability of oxygen, Escherichia coli is able to switch between aerobic respiratory metabolism and anaerobic mixed acid fermentation. An important, yet understudied, metabolic mode is the micro-aerobic metabolism at intermediate oxygen availabilities. The relationship between oxygen input, physiology and gene expression of E.

Isogenic perturb-seq to identify modulators of FRDA transcriptional phenotypes
2023Most individuals with Friedreich’s ataxia (FRDA) have both neurologic and cardiac disease which impacts their quality of life. While neurologic symptoms generally are noted earlier in life, cardiac disease is unfortunately the most common cause of death.

Reaching tasks in an altered dynamic environment: Motor adaptation in FRDA patients
Gait & Posture, 2014Introduction: In the last few years, robotic devices are extensively employed to exploit how the Central Nervous System (CNS) learns to control movements in different dynamical conditions. It was demonstrate that normally developed subjects can adapt to novel dynamic environments, tuning an internal model of the armenvironment to compensate ...

Concomitancy of mutation in FRDA gene and FMR1 premutation in 58 year-old woman.
Neuro endocrinology letters, 2005DNA testing broadens diagnostic tools available for hereditary ataxias. However, together with current knowledge of genes and their mutations crop up new phenotype figures of diseases already well known. Diagnostic problems in practice can consist in part due to the very similar symptoms of hereditary ataxias and acquaintance in or availability of new ...
