Mitochondrial complex III deficiency

Definition:

Mitochondrial complex III deficiency (MC3DN) is a relatively rare devastating disorder that impairs energy generation, and leads to variable symptoms such as developmental regression, seizures, kidney dysfunction and frequently death. Until now, mutations in nine genes have been known to cause CIII deficiency. CYC1, UQCRB, UQCRQ, and UQCRC2 encode components of CIII itself, whereas BCS1L, TTC19, LYRM7, UQCC2, and UQCC3 produce mitochondrial assembly factors.
