Friedreich`s Ataxia (FA)
... The frataxin gene was unknown until it was tagged as the culprit behind FA. Since then, much research has focused on determining the normal functions of the frataxin protein in an effort to find ways of compensating for its shortage in FA. An important breakthrough came when scientists discovered th ...
