Combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency

Definition:

Combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency (COXPD) is a group of multisystem disorders with variable manifestations resulting from a defect in the mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation system. It has been reported that the mutations in the ribosomal protein gene (MRPS) cause severe antenatal-onset infantile disease. The patients with COXPD caused by mutations in mitochondrial translation elongation factor genes (GFM1, GFM2, TUFM, TSFM and C12orf65) have also been reported.
