Mitochondrial ND5 gene

The mitochondrial gene MT-ND5 encodes an enzyme responsible for electron transport on the inner mitochondrial membrane. It is subunit 5 of the respiratory complex I. The gene is encoded by nucleotides 12337-14148. Diseases caused by mutations include Leigh, MELAS, and MERFF syndromes, Leber hereditary optic neuropathy, and mitochondrial complex I deficiency. Also an association with Parkinson disease is discussed. The ensemble of all mitochondrial genes is tested if a mitochondrial disorder has to be diagnosed.
