Inhibition of FAST-1 Molecule May Have Therapeutic Potential in Friedreich’s Ataxia, Study Confirms

A naturally produced RNA molecule called FAST-1 can prevent the readout of the FXN gene and, consequently, production of the frataxin protein, contributing to the development of Friedreich’s ataxia, researchers suggest. This finding was reported in a study published in the journal Scientific Reports and supports the hypothesis that inhibition…
