Abstract excerpt
Mitochondriopathies are a diverse group of disorders caused by disruption of typical mitochondrial function. Heterogenous in nature, many of these disorders arise due to variants in genes encoding key mitochondrial proteins involved in transcription and translation of mitochondrial machinery. One such gene, VARS2, encodes a mitochondrial aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase that catalyzes the attachment of valine to its...
