Mitochondrial ND6 gene

The mitochondrial gene MT-ND6 encodes an enzyme responsible for electron transport on the inner mitochondrial membrane. It is subunit 6 of the respiratory complex I. The gene is encoded by nucleotides 14149-14673. Diseases caused by mutations include Leigh and MELAS syndromes, Leber hereditary optic neuropathy, cardiomyopathy, dystonia, Parkinson disease, mitochondrial complex I deficiency, and oncocytoma. The ensemble of all mitochondrial genes is tested if a mitochondrial disorder has to be diagnosed.
