Mitochondrial TRNC gene

The mitochondrial gene MT-TC encodes a transport RNA (tRNA) for cysteine (C). The gene is encoded by nucleotides 5761-5826. Diseases caused by mutations include MELAS syndrome, and dystonia. The ensemble of all mitochondrial genes is tested if a mitochondrial disorder has to be diagnosed.
