Carl Fratter (Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust)

Green List (high evidence)

Updated information and Green review collated 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.
Created: 10 May 2019, 11:13 a.m.

Mode of inheritance
BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal

Phenotypes
Mitochondrial complex IV deficiency

Ellen McDonagh (Genomics England Curator)

Comment on list classification: This gene was promoted from Amber to Green due to the overall review and evidence assessment from the GMS mitochondrial specialist test group, submitted by Carl Fratter.
Created: 10 May 2019, 12:05 p.m.
Comment on list classification: This gene has been demoted to Amber until further evidence is provided. This gene is currently Amber 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.
