Dual diagnosis of <i>UQCRFS1</i>-related mitochondrial complex III deficiency and recessive <i>GJA8</i>-related cataracts.

ABSTRACT: Biallelic pathogenic variants in UQCRFS1 underlie a rare form of isolated mitochondrial complex III deficiency associated with lactic acidosis and a distinctive scalp alopecia previously described in two unrelated probands. Here, we describe a participant in the Undiagnosed Diseases Network (UDN) with a dual diagnosis of two autosomal recessive disorders revealed by genome sequencing: UQCRFS1-related mitochondrial complex III deficiency and GJA8-related cataracts. Both pathogenic variants have been reported before: UQCRFS1 (NM_006003.3:c.215-1 G>C, p.Val72_Thr81del10) in a case with mitochondrial complex III deficiency and GJA8 (NM 005267.5:c.736 G>T, p.Glu246*) as a somatic change in aged cornea leading to decreased junctional coupling.
