Dystonia Linked to EIF4A2 Haploinsufficiency: A Disorder of Protein Translation Dysfunction
23 Jul 2023
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Protein synthesis is a tightly controlled process, involving a host of translation-initiation factors and microRNA-associated repressors. Variants in the translational regulator EIF2AK2 were first linked to neurodevelopmental-delay phenotypes, followed by their implication in dystonia. Recently, de novo variants in EIF4A2, encoding eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4A isoform 2 (eIF4A2), have...
