Genes affected
COA8 (HGNC:20492): (cytochrome c oxidase assembly factor 8) This gene encodes a protein that localizes to the mitochondria, where it stimulates the release of cytochrome c, thereby promoting programmed cell death. Mutations in this gene have been found in individuals with mitochondrial complex IV deficiency. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2014]
KLC1 (HGNC:6387): (kinesin light chain 1) Conventional kinesin is a tetrameric molecule composed of two heavy chains and two light chains, and transports various cargos along microtubules toward their plus ends. The heavy chains provide the motor activity, while the light chains bind to various cargos. This gene encodes a member of the kinesin light chain family. It associates with kinesin heavy chain through an N-terminal domain, and six tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) motifs are thought to be involved in binding of cargos such as vesicles, mitochondria, and the Golgi complex. Thus, kinesin light chains function as adapter molecules and not motors per se. Although previously named "kinesin 2", this gene is not a member of the kinesin-2 / kinesin heavy chain subfamily of kinesin motor proteins. Extensive alternative splicing produces isoforms with different C-termini that are proposed to bind to different cargos; however, the full-length nature and/or biological validity of most of these variants have not been determined.

Variant summary: COA8 c.196C>T (p.Arg66X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.5e-05 in 1614026 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in COA8 causing Mitochondrial Complex 4 Deficiency, Nuclear Type 17, allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.196C>T has been observed in individual(s) affected with Mitochondrial Complex 4 Deficiency, Nuclear Type 17 (Melchionda_2014). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 25175347). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 156421). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
