Mitochondrial ATP6 gene

The mitochondrial gene MT-ATP6 encodes an enzyme responsible for electron transport on the inner mitochondrial membrane. It is subunit 6 of the respiratory complex IV. The gene is encoded by nucleotides 8527-9207. Diseases caused by mutations include NARP syndrome, Leber hereditary optic neuropathy, mitochondrial complex IV deficiency, mental retardation, ataxia, cardiomyopathy, bilateral striatal necrosis, seizures, and lactic acidosis. Also an association with Parkinson disease is discussed. The ensemble of all mitochondrial genes is tested if a mitochondrial disorder has to be diagnosed.
