- Using linkage analysis and whole-exome sequencing, Safka Brozkova et al. reveal missense mutations in the histidyl-tRNA synthetase gene in 23 patients from four families with axonal and demyelinating neuropathies of varying severity. The mutations cause loss of function in yeast complementation assays and neurotoxicity in a C. elegans model
