Genes affected

BCS1L (HGNC:1020): (BCS1 homolog, ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase complex chaperone) This gene encodes a homolog of the S. cerevisiae bcs1 protein which is involved in the assembly of complex III of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. The encoded protein does not contain a mitochondrial targeting sequence but experimental studies confirm that it is imported into mitochondria. Mutations in this gene are associated with mitochondrial complex III deficiency and the GRACILE syndrome. Several alternatively spliced transcripts encoding two different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with BCS1L-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 520622). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser262*) in the BCS1L gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in BCS1L are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17314340, 25895478). -
