ATP synthase deficiency

Definition:

ATP synthase deficiency is mitochondrial disease caused by inborn defects in the mitochondrial F1Fo-ATP synthase (respiratory chain complex V). Many patients die within a few months or years. It has been shown to result from mutations in mtDNA genes for the subunits ATP6 and ATP8 or in nuclear genes encoding the biogenesis factors ATPAF2 and TMEM70. Recently, mutations have been found in a nuclear encoded structural complex V subunit, ATP5E and ATP5A1.
