Abstract
Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder which is caused by triplet repeat expansion (GAA) in the first intron of FXN gene. In this present study, we generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) lines from fibroblasts of three unrelated FRDA patients using integration-free episomal vectors. All iPSC lines express the pluripotency markers such as OCT4 and SSEA4, display normal karyotypes and can differentiate into all three germ layers via in vivo teratoma formation assay.
