Background
GARS, also known as glycyl-tRNA synthetase, is one of the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase that charge tRNAswith their cognate amino acids. Defects in the gene encoding GlyRS is the cause of Charcot-Marie-Toothdisease type 2D (CMT2D), which is an autosomal dominant inherited disease characterized by severe weakness,atrophy and absence of deep tendon reflexes in the upper extremities. Defects in the GlyRS gene is also thecause of distal hereditary muscular neuropathy type V (HMN5), a disease similar to CMT2D, though the distalsensory involvement is less severe in HMN5 patients.
