Mitochondrial ND2 gene

The mitochondrial gene MT-ND2 encodes an enzyme responsible for electron transport on the inner mitochondrial membrane. It is subunit 2 of the respiratory complex I. The gene is encoded by nucleotides 4470-5511. Diseases caused by mutations include Leigh syndrome, Leber hereditary optic neuropathy, and mitochondrial complex I deficiency. The ensemble of all mitochondrial genes is tested if a mitochondrial disorder has to be diagnosed.
