Although several reports correlated microglia morphology to cerebellar degeneration in FRDA in vivo, this work is the first to provide multilayer evidence (phenomics, transcriptomics, and metabolic analysis) that FRDA microglia are dysfunctional, suggesting a contribution of non-cell autonomous mechanisms in FRDA pathogenesis.
