Defects in protein components of the mitochondrial ISC machinery are associated with numerous diseases, including Friedreich ataxia (defects in frataxin), myopathy (defects in ISCU or FDX2), and multiple mitochondrial dysfunction syndromes (defects in NFU1, BOLA3, ISCA2, and IBA57). Extensive investigations over the past two decades have identified many new components and established key steps in the ISC machinery. A growing number of diseases associated with ISC defects are being discovered through clinical, genetic, and biochemical studies.
