A comprehensive transcriptome analysis in Friedreich’s ataxia (FRDA) patients, a hereditary neurodegenerative disease characterized by guanine-adenine-adenine (GAA) nucleotide repeat expansion in the first intron of the frataxin (FXN) gene, identified BDNF and FXN as novel targets of miRNAs [137]. Here, FXN is linked to neurodegenerative disease.
