Question

Transport along a microtubule is especially important in delivering mitochondria from the cell body of a motor neuron to the end of an axon, where there is a high energy demand for neurotransmission. Miro is an adaptor protein that binds mitochondria to the motor proteins responsible for carrying mitochondria along microtubules.

Part 1. What symptom(s) would you expect to see in a patient carrying a deletion to the miro gene?
