 On average, the increase in cardiac FXN expression after AAVrh.10hFXN administration with 5.7x1011 and 1.8x1012 gc/kg doses was 6.5 and 37%, respectively, over the PBS-treated controls. Together, these data identify the safe doses of AAVrh.10hFXN relevant for the treatment of the cardiac manifestations of FA.
