Genes affected
COX20 (HGNC:26970): (cytochrome c oxidase assembly factor COX20) This gene encodes a protein that plays a role in the assembly of cytochrome C oxidase, an important component of the respiratory pathway. It contains two transmembrane helices and localizes to the mitochondrial membrane. Mutations in this gene can cause mitochondrial complex IV deficiency, which results in ataxia and muscle hypotonia. There are multiple pseudogenes for this gene. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpAug 27, 2023This sequence change replaces lysine, which is basic and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 14 of the COX20 protein (p.Lys14Arg). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with COX20-related neurological disorder (PMID: 30656193, 31079202, 33751098). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 383938). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be tolerated. Studies have shown that this missense change is associated with altered splicing resulting in unknown protein product impact (PMID: 33751098). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

COX20-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesJan 31, 2023The COX20 c.41A>G variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Lys14Arg. This variant is located near the end of exon 1 and splicing prediction programs predict a splicing defect at the consensus splice site (Alamut Visual Plus v.1.6.1). This variant has been reported in the compound heterozygous and homozygous states in multiple individuals with with sensory neuropathy and has been documented as a founder variant in the eastern Chinese Han population (Otero et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 30656193; Dong et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 33751098). Functional analysis showed that the variant disrupted proper splicing and lead to decreased protein expression (Otero et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 30656193; Dong et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 33751098). This variant is reported in 0.0054% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/1-244999057-A-G). This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
Inborn genetic diseases Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsMar 05, 2024The c.41A>G (p.K14R) alteration is located in exon 1 (coding exon 1) of the COX20 gene. This alteration results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 41, causing the lysine (K) at amino acid position 14 to be replaced by an arginine (R). Based on data from gnomAD, the G allele has an overall frequency of 0.002% (1/41838) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.005% (1/18582) of European (non-Finnish) alleles. This variant has been identified in the homozygous state and in trans with another COX20 variant in individuals with features consistent with COX20-related mitochondrial complex IV deficiency (Chen, 2023; Li, 2022; Ban, 2022; Dong, 2021; Xu, 2019; Otero, 2018). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. RNA studies show that this variant causes abnormal splicing (Dong, 2021; Ban, 2022; Li, 2022). Expression and functional studies show significantly decreased levels of COX20 protein as well as reduced enzyme activity and oxygen consumption rate (Otero, 2018; Xu, 2019; Dong, 2021). This missense variant is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this nucleotide substitution will weaken the native splice donor site. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -
