Genes affected
COQ8B (HGNC:19041): (coenzyme Q8B) This gene encodes a protein with two copies of a domain found in protein kinases. The encoded protein has a complete protein kinase catalytic domain, and a truncated domain that contains only the active and binding sites of the protein kinase domain, however, it is not known whether the protein has any kinase activity. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeMar 21, 2022This missense change has been observed in individuals with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (PMID: 24270420, 28204945, 28454995, 29382012, 31130284, 31937884, 32543055, 32604935, 32859164). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects COQ8B function (PMID: 29194833). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt COQ8B protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 91845). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 178 of the COQ8B protein (p.Arg178Trp). -

Inborn genetic diseases Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsNov 03, 2023The c.532C>T (p.R178W) alteration is located in exon 7 (coding exon 6) of the COQ8B gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 532, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 178 to be replaced by a tryptophan (W). Based on data from gnomAD, the T allele has an overall frequency of 0.003% (7/279154) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.02% (4/19808) of East Asian alleles. This alteration was detected in the homozygous state in multiple individuals with COQ8B-related primary coenzyme Q10 deficiency (Al-Hamed, 2022; Alvi, 2022; Maeoka, 2020; Ashraf, 2013). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. This alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as likely pathogenic. -
