Preferred Label : Mitochondrial complex III deficiency, nuclear type 6;
Symbol : MC3DN6;
CISMeF acronym : MC3DN6;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Description : Mitochondrial complex III deficiency nuclear type 6 (MC3DN6) is an autosomal recessive
disorder caused by mitochondrial dysfunction. It is characterized by onset in early
childhood of episodic acute lactic acidosis, ketoacidosis, and insulin-responsive
hyperglycemia, usually associated with infection. Laboratory studies show decreased
activity of mitochondrial complex III. Psychomotor development is normal (summary
by Gaignard et al., 2013). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of mitochondrial
complex III deficiency, see MC3DN1 (124000).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the cytochrome C1 gene (CYC1, 123980.0001);
Laboratory abnormalities : Abnormal liver enzymes, episodic; Increased serum lactate; Hyperammonemia, episodic; Decreased mitochondrial complex III activity (in liver, muscle, and fibroblasts);
