AAV8 gene therapy reverses cardiac pathology and prevents early mortality in a mouse model of Friedreich’s ataxia

Friedreich’s ataxia (FRDA) is an autosomal-recessive disorder primarily attributed to biallelic GAA repeat expansions that reduce expression of the mitochondrial protein frataxin (FXN). FRDA is characterized by progressive neurodegeneration, with many patients developing cardiomyopathy that progress...
