Gene: VARS2

Alternate names for this Gene: COXPD20|VALRS|VARS2L|VARSL

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a mitochondrial aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase, which catalyzes the attachment of valine to tRNA(Val) for mitochondrial translation. Mutations in this gene cause combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency-20, and are also associated with early-onset mitochondrial encephalopathies. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 6

Location in Chromosome : 6p21.33

Description of this Gene: valyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial

Type of Gene: protein-coding

Gene: GTF2H4

Alternate names for this Gene: P52|TFB2|TFIIH

Gene Summary:

Gene is located in Chromosome: 6

Location in Chromosome : 6p21.33

Description of this Gene: general transcription factor IIH subunit 4

Type of Gene: protein-coding
