Frataxin gene editing rescues Friedreich’s ataxia pathology in dorsal root ganglia organoid-derived sensory neurons

Friedreich’s ataxia (FRDA) is an autosomal-recessive disorder. Here the authors describe a DRG organoid from patient derived-neurons and co-culture with muscle cells to mimic the disorder in vitro and demonstrate potential correction of the phenotype by CRISPR based editing.
