Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Homozygous loss-of-function mutations in TSEN54 (tRNA splicing endonuclease subunit 54; OMIM: 608755) cause different types of pontocerebellar hypoplasias (PCH) including PCH2, PCH4, and PCH5. The study aimed to determine the possible genetic factors contributing to PCH phenotypes in two affected male infants in an Iranian family. METHODS: We subjected two affected individuals in a consanguineous...
