Provided herein is an adeno-associated virus (AAV) particle comprising a capsid and a viral genome, wherein said capsid delivers the AAV particle to a nervous system, and wherein said viral genome comprises a polynucleotide sequence encoding Frataxin and one or more microRNA binding sites. Also, provided herein is a method for treating, ameliorating, and/or preventing a disorder in a subject stemming from a loss or partial loss of frataxin protein in the subject, wherein the method comprises: administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a composition comprising an AAV particle comprising a capsid and a viral genome, wherein said capsid delivers the viral genome to a nervous system, and wherein said viral genome comprises a polynucleotide sequence encoding Frataxin and one or more microRNA binding sites, as described herein. |
