Genes affected

COQ8A (HGNC:16812): (coenzyme Q8A) This gene encodes a mitochondrial protein similar to yeast ABC1, which functions in an electron-transferring membrane protein complex in the respiratory chain. It is not related to the family of ABC transporter proteins. Expression of this gene is induced by the tumor suppressor p53 and in response to DNA damage, and inhibiting its expression partially suppresses p53-induced apoptosis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found; however, their full-length nature has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg348*) in the COQ8A gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in COQ8A are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 18319074, 20580948). This variant is present in population databases (rs771578775, gnomAD 0.009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with cerebellar ataxia and childhood onset ataxia (PMID: 20580948, 21873089, 29915382). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 242458). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.005%). Predicted Consequence/Location: Stop-gained (nonsense): predicted to result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function through nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) or protein truncation. Multiple pathogenic variants are reported downstream of the variant. The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic with clinical assertions and evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000242458 /PMID: 20580948). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -
