Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by loss-of-function mutations in the thymidine phosphorylase gene (TYMP). We report here a patient compound heterozygous for two TYMP mutations: a novel g.4009G>A transition affecting the consensus splice donor site of intron 9, and a previously reported g.675G>C splice site mutation. The novel mutation causes exon 9...
