Schoenmakers Erik, Chatterjee Krishna
Abstract excerpt
Significance: Generalized selenoprotein deficiency has been associated with mutations in SECISBP2, SEPSECS, and TRU-TCA1-1, 3 factors that are crucial for incorporation of the amino acid selenocysteine (Sec) into at least 25 human selenoproteins. SECISBP2 and TRU-TCA1-1 defects are characterized by a multisystem phenotype due to deficiencies of antioxidant and tissue-specific selenoproteins, together with...
