Description

Variant summary: NDUFS4 c.221delC (p.Thr74IlefsX18) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant was absent in 250788 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.221delC has been reported in the literature in at least one homozygous individual with a confirmed mitochondrial complex I deficiency (Calvo_2010). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic.
