Comment on phenotypes: No OMIM phenotype (23/05/2019).
Created: 23 May 2019, 2:22 p.m.
Comment on list classification: This gene was added as Green due to the overall review and evidence assessment from the GMS mitochondrial specialist test group, submitted by Carl Fratter (May 2019) on behalf of GMS mitochondrial specialist test group: 1 family (4 affecteds) reported with functional studies; also London team have diagnosed a second unrelated family; note that this is a Complex IV subunit.
From panesl: Possible mitochondrial disorder - nuclear genes (Version 0.187) and Mitochondrial disorder with complex IV deficiency (Version 0.40).

I don't know

Single reported family only, a lot of functional evidence. Does not meet criteria for Green at present.
