background: friedreich ataxia (frda) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by guanine-adenine-adenine (gaa) triplet expansions in the fxn gene. its product, frataxin, which severely reduces in frda patients, leads to oxidative damage in mitochondria. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the triple nucleotide repeated expansions in iranian frda patients and to elucidate distinguishable ...
