Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Mitochondrial aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases-encoded by ARS2 genes-are evolutionarily conserved enzymes that catalyse the attachment of amino acids to their cognate tRNAs, ensuring the accuracy of the mitochondrial translation process. ARS2 gene mutations are associated with a wide range of clinical presentations affecting the CNS. METHODS: Two senior neuroradiologists analysed brain MRI of 25...
