Progressive Early-Onset Leukodystrophy Related to Biallelic Variants in the <i>KARS</i> Gene: The First Case Described in Latin America

Progressive Early-Onset Leukodystrophy Related to Biallelic Variants in the <i>KARS</i> Gene: The First Case Described in Latin America

The <i>KARS</i> gene encodes the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (aaRS), which activates and joins the lysin with its corresponding transfer RNA (tRNA) through the ATP-dependent aminoacylation of the amino acid. <i>KARS</i> gene mutations have been linked to diverse neurologic phen...
