Abstract excerpt
Dominantly inherited mutations in eight cytosolic aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase genes cause hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy, characterized by degeneration of peripheral motor and sensory axons. We previously identified a pathogenic gain-of-toxic function mechanism underlying peripheral neuropathy (PN) caused by heterozygous mutations in the GARS1 gene, encoding glycyl-tRNA synthetase (GlyRS). Specifically,...
