Metabolomics analysis reveals dysregulation in one carbon metabolism in Friedreich Ataxia

Thomas M. O'Connell, David L. Logsdon, R. Mark Payne; Molecular Genetics and Metabolism, 2022, ISSN 1096-7192, doi:10.1016/j.ymgme.2022.06.002. 

These results are the first reported metabolomic analyses of human patients with FA. The metabolic perturbations, especially those related to 1C metabolism, may serve as a valuable biomarker panel of disease progression and response to therapy. The identification of dysregulated 1C metabolism may also inform the search for new therapeutic targets related to this pathway.
