We generated induced pluripotent stem cells from blood lymphocytes from a FRDA patient carrying the FXN c.165 + 5G > C point mutation, which interferes with canonical splicing of intron 1 of the FXN gene. These cells allow for development of therapeutic approaches that target splicing defect in FRDA.
