Abstract excerpt
Humans with pathogenic loss of function alanyl-tRNA synthetase 1 (AARS1) variants have a range of congenital brain phenotypes, including a high prevalence of microcephaly. The molecular mechanisms for this are unclear but zebrafish mutants in aars1 have reduced neurogenesis and increased apoptosis. Here, we report two individuals with compound heterozygous AARS1 variants. We created two mouse models to study the...
