The tRNA pool, whose composition and abundance change in a cell- and tissue-dependent manner, is the main factor which determines mRNA translation velocity. In this review, we discuss a group of pathogenic mutations, in the coding sequences of either protein-coding genes or in tRNA genes, that alter mRNA translation dynamics. We also summarize advances in tRNA biology that have uncovered how variations in tRNA levels on account of genetic mutations affect protein folding and function, and thereby contribute to phenotypic diversity in clinical manifestations.
