Biochemical effects of mutations in the gene encoding the alpha subunit of eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF) 2B associated with Vanishing White Matter disease.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Leukoencephalopathy with Vanishing White Matter (VWM) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by germline mutations in the genes EIF2B1-5, which encode the 5 subunits of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF2B. To date, analysis of the biochemical effects of mutations in the EIF2B2-5 genes has been carried out, but no study has been performed on mutations in the EIF2B1 gene. This gene...
