A novel disease gene in which mutations cause rare but devastating genetic diseases known as mitochondrial disorders has been identified by researchers. Nine rare, disease-causing mutations of the gene, FBXL4, were found in nine affected children in seven families, including three siblings from the same family. An international team of researchers report the discovery in the iAmerican Journal of Human Genetics/i. The lead author is Xiaowu Gai, PhD, ...Sunday, 1 September 2013
