Mitochondrial TRNI gene
The mitochondrial gene MT-TI encodes a transport RNA (tRNA) for isoleucine (I). The gene is encoded by nucleotides 4263-4331. Diseases caused by mutations include cardiomyopathy, encephalopathy, ataxia, dysarthria, sensorineural deafness, mental retardation, ptosis, ophthalmoplegia, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, hypomagnesemia, and hypertension. The ensemble of all mitochondrial genes is tested if a mitochondrial disorder has to be diagnosed.
