Any mitochondrial complex III deficiency in which the cause of the disease is a mutation in the UQCRB gene.
Features include always present findings: Elevated circulating aspartate aminotransferase concentration, Decreased activity of mitochondrial complex III, Increased circulating lactate concentration, and Enlarged liver (hepatomegaly) and others. 9 total HPO annotations.
Organ System | Phenotype Count | Example Features |
|---|---|---|
Lab test results | 4 | Elevated circulating aspartate aminotransferase concentration, Decreased activity of mitochondrial complex III, Increased circulating lactate concentration |
UQCRB function has not been fully characterized.
Mitochondrial complex III deficiency nuclear type 3 is associated with mutations in the UQCRB gene on chromosome 8.
Genetic testing for UQCRB is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
Phenotype severity distribution: 8 always present features.
