Abstract excerpt
Some mutations in mitochondrial tRNA (mt-tRNA) genes cause devastating disease, whereas others have no clinical consequences. We understand little of the factors determining the pathogenicity of specific mt-tRNA mutations, making prediction of clinical outcome extremely difficult. Using extensive...
