Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to develop a reliable, rapid and cost-effective molecular diagnostic assay allowing widespread routine investigation of eIF2B-related disorders (CACH/VWM syndrome). This heterogeneous disease is caused by autosomal recessive mutations in the genes encoding the five subunits of the translation-initiation factor eIF2B. Such a diagnostic method would be particularly adapted to...
