Genes affected
COQ4 (HGNC:19693): (coenzyme Q4) This gene encodes a component of the coenzyme Q biosynthesis pathway. Coenzyme Q, an essential component of the electron transport chain, shuttles electrons between complexes I or II to complex III of the mitochondrial transport chain. This protein appears to play a structural role in stabilizing a complex that contains most of the coenzyme Q biosynthesis enzymes. Mutations in this gene are associated with mitochondrial disorders linked to coenzyme Q deficiency. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2015]

Variant summary: COQ4 c.433C>T (p.Arg145Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 9.3e-06 in 215486 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.433C>T has been reported in the literature in at least an individual affected with COQ4-related conditions (Wu_2022, Wei_2024). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 35598585, 38013626). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2686024). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic. -
