Abstract:
We report the clinical, haematological and molecular characteristics of two triose phosphate isomerase deficient patients affected by haemolytic anaemia and neuromuscular impairment. The sequence of complete TPI gene showed the presence of two previously undescribed mutations: c.722 T>C (Phe240Ser) and c.28 insG; each of the two unrelated patients showed the new mutation in compound heterozygosity with the most common variant Glu104Asp. The association of Glu104Asp with c.28 insG resulted in a very severe clinical pattern.

Translation
Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from the genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA). Following transcription, it constitutes the final step in the expression of genes. This process is carried out by ribosomes, complexes of protein and specialized RNA molecules. Ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA), and other proteins produce a chain of amino acids—the polypeptide—as the end product of translation.
