Methionyl-tRNA synthetase (MARS) catalyzes the ligation of methionine to tRNA. Heterozygous MARS mutations have been reported to cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, axonal, type 2U (CMT2U). Homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in MARS gene would cause interstitial lung and liver disease (ILLD), a severe disease onset in infancy or early childhood. Here we report a Chinese ILLD family with two affected...
