Novel homozygous RARS2 mutation in two siblings without pontocerebellar hypoplasia – further expansion of the phenotypic spectrum

Abstract Background Pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 6 (PCH6) is a mitochondrial disease caused by mutations in the RARS2 gene. RARS2 encodes mitochondrial arginyl transfer RNA synthetase, an enzyme involved in mitochondrial protein translation. A total of 27 patients from 14 families have been repor...
