Cardiomyopathy_Paediatric
Gene: NDUFV2
NDUFV2 encodes a subunit of complex I of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, with biallelic pathogenic variants associated with complex I deficiency (ClinGen). Pathogenic variants in multiple other genes leading to complex I deficiency have been reported to be frequently associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (PMIDs: 26906428, 42265384).
PMID: 12754703 - 3 male sibs diagnosed with neonatal/infantile onset hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and encephalopathy. Functional testing on skeletal muscle and endomyocardial biopsy samples showed a 50-60% reduction in complex I deficiency. All affected sibs were homozygous for an intron 2 variant NM_021074.5(NDUFV2):c.120+5_120+8del. RNA sequencing showed skipping of exon 2. Western blot analysis of mitochondria from cultured skin fibroblasts showed reduction in NDUFV2 protein to 25-33% of controls.
PMID: 19167255 - 1 patient with childhood onset hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and encephalopathy, found to have the same homozygous intron 2 deletion in NDUFV2 c.120+5_120+8del
PMID: 26008862 - 2 affected sibs, one with hypotonia and another with encephalopathy, both diagnosed with neonatal onset hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Both sibs found to have complex I deficiency on fibroblast testing, and were compound heterozygous for c.120+5_120+8del and c.669_670insG, p.Ser224Valfs*3.Created: 26 Aug 2026, 12:01 p.m. | Last Modified: 26 Aug 2026, 12:01 p.m.
