Genes affected
NDUFAF2 (HGNC:28086): (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase complex assembly factor 2) NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) catalyzes the transfer of electrons from NADH to ubiquinone (coenzyme Q) in the first step of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, resulting in the translocation of protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane. This gene encodes a complex I assembly factor. Mutations in this gene cause progressive encephalopathy resulting from mitochondrial complex I deficiency. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Mitochondrial complex 1 deficiency, nuclear type 10 Pathogenic:3
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingVictorian Clinical Genetics Services, Murdoch Childrens Research InstituteMay 21, 2020A heterozygous nonsense variant, NM_174889.4(NDUFAF2):c.114C>G, has been identified in exon 1 of 4 of the NDUFAF2 gene. The variant is predicted to result in a premature stop codon at position 38 of the protein, NP_777549.1(NDUFAF2):p.(Tyr38*). This variant is predicted to result in loss of protein function through truncation (including the NDUFA12 domain), which is a reported mechanism of pathogenicity for this gene. The variant has been previously described as pathogenic and identified in a homozygous patient with complex I deficiency and clinical symptoms of Leigh disease (ClinVar, Hoefs, S. et al. (2009)). Additionally, functional studies showed a decrease in complex I activity in the cultured skin fibroblasts and a disturbance in the assembly of complex I (Hoefs, S. et al. (2009)). Other variants resulting in a truncated protein have been reported as pathogenic in this gene (ClinVar)). Based on the information available at the time of curation, this variant has been classified as PATHOGENIC. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP LaboratoriesAug 28, 2023The NDUFAF2 c.114C>G; p.Tyr38Ter variant (rs199754807) is reported in the literature in a homozygous individual affected with mitochondrial complex I deficiency (Hoefs 2009). This variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 419231) and is found in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.005% (15/282,774 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database (v2.1.1). This variant induces an early termination codon and while mRNA studies of patient cells suggest this variant may escape nonsense-mediated decay, it is predicted to result in a truncated protein. Patient cells homozygous for this variant exhibit significantly decreased mitochondrial complex I activity (Hoefs 2009). Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Hoefs SJ et al. Baculovirus complementation restores a novel NDUFAF2 mutation causing complex I deficiency. Hum Mutat. 2009 Jul;30(7):E728-36. PMID: 19384974. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 24, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr38*) in the NDUFAF2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in NDUFAF2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 18180188). This variant is present in population databases (rs199754807, gnomAD 0.01%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with mitochondrial complex I deficiency (PMID: 19384974). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 419231). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpNov 21, 2018Variant summary: NDUFAF2 c.114C>G (p.Tyr38X) 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. Truncations downstream of this position has been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory (e.g. c.139C>T, p.Arg47X; c.221G>A, p.Trp74X). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 5.4e-05 in 277122 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in NDUFAF2 causing Leigh Syndrome (5.4e-05 vs 0.0013), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. The variant, c.114C>G, has been reported in the literature in one homozygote individual affected with Leigh Syndrome (Hoefs_2009). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. The same publication reports experimental evidence showing no NDUFAF2 protein expression in patient's fibroblasts and a marked decrease in complex I activity (to 21-23% of the lowest control value). Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation (pathogenic x2, VUS x1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
