Abstract excerpt
POLR3A encodes the largest subunit of the DNA-dependent RNA polymerase III. Pathogenic variants in this gene are associated with dysregulation of tRNA production and other non-coding RNAs. POLR3A-related disorders include variable phenotypes. The genotype-phenotype correlation is still unclear. Phenotypic analysis and exome sequencing were performed in four affected siblings diagnosed clinically with hereditary...
