  • Mutations to BCS1L can lead to one of three distinct rare diseases: Björnstad syndrome, BCS1L mitopathy, GRACILE syndrome
  • These diseases cause a variety of symptoms in patients that range from mild (hearing loss and brittle hair) to severe and fatal (iron overload, failure to thrive, lactic acidosis, aminoaciduria, early death)
