Mitochondrial TRNP gene

The mitochondrial gene MT-TP encodes a transport RNA (tRNA) for proline (P). The gene is encoded by nucleotides 15955-16023. Diseases caused by mutations include MERFF syndrome, Parkinson disease, and myopathy. The ensemble of all mitochondrial genes is tested if a mitochondrial disorder has to be diagnosed.
