Added comment: MODERATE by ClinGen.

At least 3 variants reported in unrelated individuals. These variants were generally present at high levels of heteroplasmy in muscle tissue and at lower to undetectable levels in other tissues such as blood, saliva, buccal tissue, urine, and fibroblasts, highlighting the diagnostic importance of muscle biopsy in MT-TD-related primary mitochondrial disease. Single fiber studies were performed in several individuals with results supporting variant pathogenicity.

This gene-disease association is also supported by functional implication given protein interaction with the multitude of other mitochondrial translation proteins linked to primary mitochondrial disease (PMID: 30030363 ). Respiratory deficient yeast strains due to a single variant in MT-TD have been created and compelling rescue studies have been performed (PMIDs: 7024270, 3054486). E. coli carrying the m.7526A>G variant were also shown to have significantly decreased aminoacylation rates (PMID: 19535463).
