Genes affected
AIFM1 (HGNC:8768): (apoptosis inducing factor mitochondria associated 1) This gene encodes a flavoprotein essential for nuclear disassembly in apoptotic cells, and it is found in the mitochondrial intermembrane space in healthy cells. Induction of apoptosis results in the translocation of this protein to the nucleus where it affects chromosome condensation and fragmentation. In addition, this gene product induces mitochondria to release the apoptogenic proteins cytochrome c and caspase-9. Mutations in this gene cause combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 6 (COXPD6), a severe mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, as well as Cowchock syndrome, also known as X-linked recessive Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease-4 (CMTX-4), a disorder resulting in neuropathy, and axonal and motor-sensory defects with deafness and cognitive disability. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A related pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 10. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015]

Combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency;CN118851:Charcot-Marie-Tooth Neuropathy X Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeMay 25, 2018This sequence change replaces alanine with valine at codon 494 of the AIFM1 protein (p.Ala494Val). The alanine residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between alanine and valine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with AIFM1-related disease. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 477606). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). 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. -
