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]

Reported with a second variant in the COQ8A gene in an individual with cerebellar ataxia and a mild decrease in CoQ10 levels in lyphoblasts (Lagier-Tourenne C et al. 2008); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 19440741, 32337771, 18319074) -

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 549 of the COQ8A protein (p.Gly549Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs119468009, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of Coenzyme Q10 deficiency (PMID: 18319074). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 3646). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt COQ8A protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects COQ8A function (PMID: 18319074). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
