Review
One interesting new development has been proposed in Friedreich’s Ataxia where the authors discuss the hypothesis that the mitochondrial protein frataxin may oligomerize like ferritin and perform functions redundant with mitochondrial ferritin, acting as another iron storage molecule. Loss of frataxin and this iron storage property may result in Friedreich’s Ataxia and subsequent neurodegeneration.
