SLC25A4 function has not been fully characterized.
Progressive external ophthalmoplegia with mitochondrial DNA deletions, autosomal dominant 2 is associated with mutations in the SLC25A4 gene on chromosome 4.
Genetic testing for SLC25A4 is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
