Genes affected
COX15 (HGNC:2263): (cytochrome c oxidase assembly homolog COX15) Cytochrome c oxidase (COX), the terminal component of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, catalyzes the electron transfer from reduced cytochrome c to oxygen. This component is a heteromeric complex consisting of 3 catalytic subunits encoded by mitochondrial genes and multiple structural subunits encoded by nuclear genes. The mitochondrially-encoded subunits function in electron transfer, and the nuclear-encoded subunits may function in the regulation and assembly of the complex. This nuclear gene encodes a protein which is not a structural subunit, but may be essential for the biogenesis of COX formation and may function in the hydroxylation of heme O, according to the yeast mutant studies. This protein is predicted to contain 5 transmembrane domains localized in the mitochondrial inner membrane. Alternative splicing of this gene generates two transcript variants diverging in the 3' region. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
CUTC (HGNC:24271): (cutC copper transporter) Members of the CUT family of copper transporters are associated with copper homeostasis and are involved in the uptake, storage, delivery, and efflux of copper (Gupta et al., 1995 [PubMed 7635807]; Li et al., 2005 [PubMed 16182249]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxJul 10, 2024Nonsense variant predicted to result in protein truncation or nonsense mediated decay in a gene for which loss of function is a known mechanism of disease; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 21412973, 22310368, 33171185, 32232962, 31345219, 15863660, 33746038) -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 31, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser151*) in the COX15 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in COX15 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15863660, 21412973). This variant is present in population databases (rs149718203, gnomAD 0.05%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with mitochondrial complex IV deficiency (PMID: 15863660, 21412973, 33746038). This variant is also known as 503C>G (H152X). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 496238). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
COX15-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesMay 28, 2024The COX15 c.452C>G variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Ser151*). This variant has been reported in the compound heterozygous state in individuals with COX15-related disease (Bugiani et al. 2005. PubMed ID: 15863660; Alfadhel et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21412973; Galvão de Oliveira et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 33746038). This variant is reported in 0.051% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. Nonsense variants in COX15 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJan 09, 2022Variant summary: COX15 c.452C>G (p.Ser151X) 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 0.00025 in 251510 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in COX15 causing Leigh Syndrome (0.00025 vs 0.0013), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.452C>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Leigh Syndrome and subsequently cited by others (example, Bugiani_2005, Invernizzi_2012, Alfadhel_2011, Halperin_2020, Miryounesi_2016, de Oliveira_2021). At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in 10%-<30% of normal complex IV activity in patient derived muscle and fibroblast samples (Bugiani 2005, Alfadhel 2011). One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation and classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
