Genes affected
CTU2 (HGNC:28005): (cytosolic thiouridylase subunit 2) This gene encodes a protein which is involved in the post-transcriptional modification of transfer RNAs (tRNAs). The encoded protein plays a role in thiolation of uridine residue present at the wobble position in a subset of tRNAs, resulting in enhanced codon reading accuracy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]

The c.70C>T (p.R24C) alteration is located in exon 2 (coding exon 2) of the CTU2 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 70, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 24 to be replaced by a cysteine (C). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
