Any mitochondrial complex III deficiency in which the cause of the disease is a mutation in the UQCC3 gene.
Features include always present findings: Periventricular cysts, Hypermetropia, Feeding difficulties, and Decreased activity of mitochondrial complex III and others.
Organ System | Phenotype Count | Example Features |
|---|---|---|
Lab test results | 2 | Decreased activity of mitochondrial complex III, Increased circulating lactate concentration |
UQCC3 function has not been fully characterized.
Mitochondrial complex III deficiency nuclear type 9 is associated with mutations in the UQCC3 gene on chromosome 11.
Genetic testing for UQCC3 is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
