ribosomopathies
30 March 2010Ribosomopathies comprise a collection of disorders in which genetic abnormalities cause impaired ribosome biogenesis and function, resulting in specific clinical phenotypes.
Congenital mutations in RPS19 and other genes encoding ribosomal proteins cause Diamond-Blackfan anemia, a disorder characterized by hypoplastic, macrocytic anemia.
Mutations in other genes required for normal ribosome biogenesis have been implicated in other rare congenital syndromes:
Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (...) -

translation diseases
4 February 2006Definition: Pathology of RNA translation.
The list of genetic diseases caused by mutations that affect mRNA translation is rapidly growing. Although protein synthesis is a fundamental process in all cells, the disease phenotypes show a surprising degree of heterogeneity.
Studies of some of these diseases have provided intriguing new insights into the functions of proteins involved in the process of translation; for example, evidence suggests that several have other functions in addition (...) -
