NCIt definition : Human COX6A2 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 16p11.2 and is approximately
630 kb in length. This allele, which encodes cytochrome c oxidase subunit 6A2, mitochondrial
protein, plays a role in the stabilization of mitochondrial complex IV (COX) in muscle
cells. Mutation of the gene is associated with muscle-specific mitochondrial complex
IV deficiency nuclear type 18.;
