Abstract excerpt
Using exome sequencing, we identified compound heterozygous variants of unknown significance in FASTKD5, a gene that codes for a mitochondrial protein essential for processing mRNAs at non-canonical cleavage sites in the primary mitochondrial transcript, in three subjects with Leigh syndrome, a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by lesions in the brainstem and basal ganglia. Among the three...
