3.2. Friedreich ataxia
Friedreich ataxia is an autosomal recessive degenerative disease that involves the
central and peripheral nervous system and the heart. The friedreich ataxia dataset
was first reported by Liu et al. for linkage disequilibrium mapping. This dataset
contains 58 disease haplotypes and 69 control haplotypes with 12 microsatellite
markers. The gene is located between the fifth and sixth markers, approximately
9.8125cM away from the leftmost marker. The total region size in this study
is 15 cM.

Mitochondrial iron trafficking and the integration of iron metabolism between the mitochondrion and cytosol

This presentation is interesting because makes a short review and shows an overview of the various current theories on the possible functions of frataxin and its relationship with the FA
