Inducible and reversible phenotypes in a novel mouse model of Friedreich’s Ataxia
Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA), the most common inherited ataxia, is caused by recessive mutations that reduce the levels of frataxin (FXN), a mitochondrial iron binding protein.

Pathogenic or Likely Pathogenic GRN Variants Are Found in 0.1% of Parkinson's Disease Patients
Abstract Background Parkinsonism may be observed in multiple neurodegenerative diseases, including GRN‐associated frontotemporal dementia (FTD‐GRN), complicating the differential diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Objectives To investigate the presence of GRN variants in a large group of PD patients.

Peripheral blood gene expression reveals an inflammatory transcriptomic signature in Friedreich's ataxia patients. [PDF]
Transcriptional changes in Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA), a rare and debilitating recessive Mendelian neurodegenerative disorder, have been studied in affected but inaccessible tissues-such as dorsal root ganglia, sensory neurons and cerebellum-in animal ...

Multimodal Imaging Investigation of the Dentato‐Thalamo‐Cortical Pathway in Friedreich's Ataxia
Abstract Background Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA) is a spinocerebellar neurodegenerative disorder. The dentato‐thalamo‐cortical (DTC) pathway, an important cerebellar output involved in motor control, plays a crucial role in the neural mechanisms underlying ataxia symptoms in FRDA.

CRISPR-Cas9 Gene Editing of Hematopoietic Stem Cells from Patients with Friedreich's Ataxia. [PDF]
Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA) is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder caused by expansion of GAA repeats in intron 1 of the frataxin (FXN) gene, leading to significant decreased expression of frataxin, a mitochondrial iron-binding protein.

Clinical, Genetic, and Imaging Characteristics of SCA27B: Insights from a Large Dutch Cohort
Abstract Background Deep intronic GAA repeat expansions in intron 1 of the FGF14 gene were identified in 2023 as cause of late‐onset cerebellar ataxia. Since then, GAA‐FGF14‐related ataxia (SCA27B) has emerged as one of the most common genetic causes of late‐onset cerebellar ataxia.

The current state of biomarker research for Friedreich's ataxia: a report from the 2018 FARA biomarker meeting [PDF]
The 2018 FARA Biomarker Meeting highlighted the current state of development of biomarkers for Friedreich's ataxia. A mass spectroscopy assay to sensitively measure mature frataxin (reduction of which is the root cause of disease) is being developed ...
