The Mitochondrial Complex V Deficiency Panel analyzes four nuclear genes involved in the biogenesis and function of complex V (ATP synthase), which is responsible for ATP synthesis from the proton gradient generated in the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Alterations in these genes can cause mitochondrial encephalomyopathies, metabolic myopathies, lactic acidosis, and Leigh syndrome, with variable clinical presentations. Some of the included genes are ATP5F1A, ATP5F1E, ATPAF2, and TMEM70. Using next-generation sequencing (NGS) with detection of SNVs, indels, and CNVs, this panel allows for the identification of mutations responsible for complex V dysfunction.
