Biallelic isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase 1 (IARS1) variants are associated with an IARS1-related phenotype characterized by growth retardation, intellectual disability, muscular hypotonia, infantile hepatopathy, and interstitial lung disease. This rare, early-onset disorder is often lethal. Although several variants have been identified in recent years, their pathogenicity and underlying molecular mechanisms remain...
