Human Genetic Disorders Resulting in Systemic Selenoprotein Deficiency
Selenium, a trace element fundamental to human health, is incorporated as the amino acid selenocysteine (Sec) into more than 25 proteins, referred to as selenoproteins. Human mutations in <i>SECISBP2</i>, <i>SEPSECS</i> and <i>TRU-TCA1-1</i>, three genes essential...
