Clinical and Genetic Findings in a Turkish Family With the Recurrent Homozygous EEFSEC p.Asp390Ala Variant.

The EEFSEC gene encodes eukaryotic elongation factor selenocysteine-tRNA-specific, an essential component of the selenoprotein biosynthesis machinery required for normal neurodevelopment. Biallelic EEFSEC variants have recently been associated with a rare autosomal recessive neurodevelopmental disorder with variable ne...
