Green List (high evidence)

To date, two COX5A variants have been associated with Mitochondrial complex IV deficiency, nuclear type 20 (OMIM:619064) in two unrelated cases (PMID: 28247525;35246835). Analysis of patient fibroblasts has revealed a reduced enzymatic activity and protein levels of complex IV and several of its subunits, plus, lentiviral complementation rescues the complex IV deficiency (PMID: 28247525;35246835).

Comment when marking as ready: This gene should remain Amber due to the overall review and evidence assessment from the GMS mitochondrial specialist test group, submitted by Carl Fratter.

Created: 10 May 2019, 12:01 p.m.

Comment on list classification: This gene has been demoted to Amber until further evidence is provided. This gene is currently Red on the Mitochondrial disorders panel (code 112, Version 1.132) - further evidence needs to be submitted to support promoting this gene family member to Green.

Created: 29 Mar 2019, 11:40 a.m.

Comment when marking as ready: Candidate gene therefore on the red list.

I don't know

no mutation reports in literature;

good candidate gene for complex IV deficiency (encodes a subunit of the enzyme)
