Impaired eIF5A function causes a Mendelian disorder that is partially rescued in model systems by spermidine

eIF5A is critical for protein synthesis but has not yet been associated with congenital human disease. Here, the authors show that EIF5A variants cause a Mendelian disorder via reduced eIF5A-ribosome interactions and this phenotype is partially corrected by spermidine supplementation in yeast and ze...
