Abstract excerpt

Recent studies suggest that impaired transcription or mitochondrial translation of small RNAs can cause abnormal myelination. A polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase) encoded by PNPT1 facilitates the import of small RNAs into mitochondria. PNPT1 mutations have been reported in patients with neurodevelopmental diseases with mitochondrial dysfunction. We report here 2 siblings with PNPT1 mutations who presented...
