I don't know

Three unrelated consanguineous families with developmental delay, intellectual disability, motor delay, and behavioral anomalies. WES detected homozygous variants:
- p.(Leu9Glufs*3): even though authors say is is predicted to cause NMD, it actually is NMD escape. No further studies were performed. A deceased affected sibling and parents were NOT tested.
- p.(Asp323Asn): Shown to result in a misfolded protein. Methylation assay showed mutant could not catalyze m5C deposition in transcribed tRNACys and tRNAThr substrates in vitro. One of the parents and both unaffected siblings were shown to be carriers.
- p.(Glu441Profs*15): truncation (full protein is 470aa) which would result in loss of residues involved in recognition and methylation. Shown to result in a misfolded protein. Parents were shown carriers.
