Caption

Representation of part of the protein produced by the DLST gene. The specific mutation, shown in red, has been demonstrated by the researchers to be directly linked to the development of paragangliomas/pheochromocytomas. This mutation affects an amino acid located next to another one (marked in blue) that has great importance for the normal function of the protein.
