Case report: Muscle involvement in a Chinese patient with TRNT1-related disorder
The TRNT1 gene encodes tRNA nucleotidyltransferase 1, which catalyzes the addition of cytosine-cytosine-adenosine (CCA) to the ends of cytoplasmic and mitochondrial tRNAs.

Successful Treatment of Anemia With Ringed Sideroblasts Induced by Antidepressants Through Vitamin B6 Supplementation and Discontinuation of Antidepressants. [PDF]
Vitamin B6 (VB6) is a vital coenzyme for δ‐aminolevulinic acid synthase (ALAS) in heme biosynthesis. We report a 49‐year‐old male with severe microcytic anemia and ringed sideroblasts initially diagnosed as myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). VB6 deficiency, attributed to long‐term amoxapine use, was identified.

Mutations in the mitochondrial cysteinyl-tRNA synthase gene, CARS2, lead to a severe epileptic encephalopathy and complex movement disorder [PDF]
Background: Mitochondrial disease is often suspected in cases of severe epileptic encephalopathy especially when a complex movement disorder, liver involvement and progressive developmental regression are present.

Mitochondrial DNA with a Large-Scale Deletion Causes Two Distinct Mitochondrial Disease Phenotypes in Mice [PDF]
Studies in patients have suggested that the clinical phenotypes of some mitochondrial diseases might transit from one disease to another (e.g., Pearson syndrome [PS] to Kearns-Sayre syndrome) in single individuals carrying mitochondrial (mt) DNA with a ...

Removal of Toxic Metabolites—Chelation: Manganese Disorders
ABSTRACT Manganese (Mn) overload is a characteristic of multiple disease entities, from acquired manganism upon environmental or occupational overexposure, to end‐stage liver disease and certain genetic disorders. The latter include hypermanganesaemia with dystonia 1 and 2 caused by pathogenic variants in the genes encoding the Mn transporters SLC30A10
