Friedreich’s ataxia is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by the hyper expansion of (GAA-TTC)n triplet repeats in the first intron of the FXN gene. Here, we generated iPSC lines from two individuals with FRDA, both of whom have homozygous GAA repeat expansion in the first intron of FXN gene. Both iPSC lines demonstrated characteristics of pluripotency, including expression of pluripotency markers, stable karyotypes and ability to develop into all three germ layers, and presence of GAA repeat expansion with reduced FXN mRNA expression. These iPSC lines will serve as invaluable tools for investigating the pathophysiology and phenotypes of FRDA.
