Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To report on the expanding clinical and immunological spectrum associated with ribonuclease mitochondrial RNA-processing mutations and to review the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the pathophysiology of cartilage-hair hypoplasia (CHH) and related disorders in humans. RECENT FINDINGS: Different types of mutations are associated with skeletal or extraskeletal manifestations of CHH,...
