    Identification and functional characterization of a novel MTFMT mutation associated with selective vulnerability of the visual pathway and a mild neurological phenotype

    Mitochondrial protein synthesis is initiated by formylated tRNA-methionine, which requires the activity of MTFMT, a methionyl-tRNA formyltransferase. Mutations in MTFMT have been associated with Leigh syndrome, e...
