Preferred Label : Mitochondrial complex I deficiency, nuclear type 1;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Alternative titles and symbols : Nadh:q(1) oxidoreductase deficiency; Mitochondrial nadh dehydrogenase component of complex I, deficiency of; Nadh-coenzyme q reductase deficiency; Mitochondrial complex I deficiency;
Description : Isolated complex I deficiency is the most common enzymatic defect of the oxidative
phosphorylation disorders (McFarland et al., 2004; Kirby et al., 2004). It causes
a wide range of clinical disorders, ranging from lethal neonatal disease to adult-onset
neurodegenerative disorders. Phenotypes include macrocephaly with progressive leukodystrophy,
nonspecific encephalopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, myopathy, liver disease,
Leigh syndrome (256000), Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (535000), and some forms
of Parkinson disease (see 556500) (Loeffen et al., 2000; Pitkanen et al., 1996; Robinson,
1998). - Genetic Heterogeneity of Complex I Deficiency Mitochondrial complex I deficiency
shows extreme genetic heterogeneity and can be caused by mutation in nuclear-encoded
genes or in mitochondrial-encoded genes. There are no obvious genotype-phenotype correlations,
and inference of the underlying basis from the clinical or biochemical presentation
is difficult, if not impossible (summary by Haack et al., 2012). However, the majority
of cases are caused by mutations in nuclear-encoded genes (Loeffen et al., 2000; Triepels
et al., 2001). Complex I deficiency with autosomal recessive inheritance results from
mutation in nuclear-encoded subunit genes, including NDUFV1 (161015),;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit S4 gene (NDUFS4,
602694.0001);
Laboratory abnormalities : Lactic acidemia; Increased CSF lactate; Decreased activity of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I in various tissues;
