Mutations in COA7 cause spinocerebellar ataxia with axonal neuropathy
AbstractSeveral genes related to mitochondrial functions have been identified as causative genes of neuropathy or ataxia. Cytochromec oxidase assembly factor 7 (COA7) may have a role in assembling mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes that function in oxidative phosphorylation. Here we identified four unrelated patients with recessive mutations inCOA7 among a Japanese case series of 1396 patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) or other inherited peripheral neuropathies, including complex forms of CMT. We also found that all four patients had characteristic neurological features of peripheral neuropathy and atax...
