Whole exome sequencing identifies a novel compound heterozygous GFM1 variant underlying developmental delay, dystonia, polymicrogyria, and severe intellectual disability in a Pakhtun family.

Abstract excerpt

Mitochondrial protein synthesis requires three elongation factors including EF-Tu (TUFM; OMIM 602389), EF-Ts (TSFM; OMIM 604723), and EF-G1 (GFM1; OMIM 606639). Pathogenic variants in any of these three members result in defective mitochondrial translation which can impart an oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) deficiency. In this study, we investigated a consanguineous Pakhtun Pakistani family. There were four...
