TRMT1 & TRMT1L modify tRNAs, essential for protein production. Their modifications are crucial for tRNA stability & function. Biallelic TRMT1 variants are linked to intellectual disability, while TRMT1L variants lead to a recessive neurodegenerative disorder. Check our new paper!

Earlier this year we held the first global #NARS1 family meeting with the The Rory Belle Foundation where the Board shared updates on the research progress made and the recent funding awarded, also to our team to generate iPSC neuronal models 🧬 2025 will be exciting for NARS1!

Read all about the biggest TRMT1-related NDD patient cohort where loss of tRNA modifications cause disruptions in cell cycle and immune response leading to neurodevelopmental deficits evident in human cells and zebrafish!

Honored to attend the Jack Bear Foundation fundraising event last week. Meeting Jack who presents with a rare form of ataxia reminds me why we do this work, fighting for therapies that truly make a difference. Very excited to start on our project 💛 #RareDisease #AtaxiaAwareness
