Molecular assay reagents intended to identify mutations in the mitochondrially encoded tRNA serine 1 (MT-TS1) gene, located in the mitochondrial genome, which encodes for a specific form of transfer RNA , tRNASer, that attaches to the amino acid serine (ser) and inserts it into the appropriate locations in many different proteins during translation. Mutations at this locus have been identified in patients with mitochondrial nonsyndromic hearing loss and deafness.
