Infantile liver failure is a life-threatening condition characterized by poor feeding, vomiting, jaundice, distended abdomen, hemorrhagic diathesis, and hypoactivity. Clinically, patients manifest with elevated liver transaminases, hypoglycemia, cholestasis, coagulopathy and hyperbilirubinemia. It has been reported that infantile liver failure syndrome is caused by mutations in aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase genes. A transient form of infantile liver failure is caused by mutation in the TRMU gene, which encodes a mitochondria specific tRNA-modifying enzyme.
