Abstract

As impairments in mitochondrial fission cause peripheral neuropathy, this insight into the function of NMIIC likely explains the peripheral neuropathy phenotype associated with the R941L mutation. FUND: This study was supported by the Alberta Children's Hospital Research Institute, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the Care4Rare Canada Consortium.
