Genes affected
COQ8A (HGNC:16812): (coenzyme Q8A) This gene encodes a mitochondrial protein similar to yeast ABC1, which functions in an electron-transferring membrane protein complex in the respiratory chain. It is not related to the family of ABC transporter proteins. Expression of this gene is induced by the tumor suppressor p53 and in response to DNA damage, and inhibiting its expression partially suppresses p53-induced apoptosis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found; however, their full-length nature has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces glutamine, which is neutral and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 366 of the COQ8A protein (p.Gln366Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs759470563, gnomAD 0.02%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with COQ8A-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 585373). 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 not expected to disrupt COQ8A protein function. 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. -
