Abstract excerpt
The RNA lariat debranching enzyme (DBR1) facilitates the hydrolysis of 2'-5' prime branched phosphodiester bonds. It acts on the bonds at the junction of excised lariat intron RNA, converting them into linear molecules for degradation. Mutations in the gene result in the accumulation of lariat introns, leading to multiple system dysfunction. This case involves two siblings who exhibited a homozygous gene mutation...
