Overview of Gene Research
Thg1l, also known as induced in high glucose-1 (IHG-1), encodes an essential mitochondria-associated protein. It catalyzes the 3'-5' addition of guanine to the 5'-end of tRNA-histidine (tRNAHis), playing crucial roles in mitochondrial biogenesis, dynamics, ATP production, apoptosis modulation, cell-cycle progression, survival, cellular stress responses, and redox homeostasis [2].

Mutations in Thg1l are associated with various neurodevelopmental disorders. For instance, the homozygous V55A mutation in Thg1l has been found in patients with early onset cerebellar dysfunction, developmental delay, pyramidal signs, and cerebellar atrophy. Fibroblasts from these patients show abnormal mitochondrial networks under oxidative phosphorylation conditions [1,5]. Compound heterozygous variants in Thg1l can also lead to autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia, expanding the gene variation and clinical spectrum [3]. In the Ashkenazi Jewish population, biallelic variants in Thg1l result in phenotypes ranging from severe epileptic encephalopathy (in compound heterozygotes) to milder cerebellar ataxia with normal/near-normal cognition (in homozygotes for p.(Val55Ala)) [4].

In conclusion, Thg1l is essential for mitochondrial function and tRNA-histidine modification. Research on Thg1l-related mutations in patients has revealed its significance in neurodevelopmental disorders, especially cerebellar ataxia and associated neurological phenotypes. Understanding Thg1l's function provides insights into the mechanisms underlying these disorders, potentially guiding future diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
