COX15

COX15 (COX15, Cytochrome C Oxidase Assembly Homolog) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with COX15 include Cardioencephalomyopathy, Fatal Infantile, Due To Cytochrome C Oxidase Deficiency 2 and Leigh Syndrome. Among its related pathways are Metabolism and Porphyrin and chlorophyll metabolism. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include cytochrome-c oxidase activity and oxidoreductase activity, acting on the CH-CH group of donors.

Mitochondrial complex IV deficiency, nuclear type 6 (MC4DN6):
An autosomal recessive multisystem disorder with variable manifestations. Some patients present in the neonatal period with encephalomyopathic features, whereas others present later in the first year of life with developmental regression. Clinical features include microcephaly, encephalopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, persistent lactic acidosis, respiratory distress, hypotonia and seizures. Serum lactate is increased, and laboratory studies show decreased mitochondrial complex IV protein and activity levels.
