Abstract excerpt
Iron-sulphur cluster deficiency myopathy is caused by a deep intronic mutation in ISCU resulting in inclusion of a cryptic exon in the mature mRNA. ISCU encodes the iron-sulphur cluster assembly protein IscU. Iron-sulphur clusters are essential for most basic redox transformations including the respiratory-chain function. Most patients are homozygous for the mutation with a phenotype characterized by a...
