Description

The MT-ND6 (mitochondrially encoded NADH dehydrogenase 6) gene mutation that can cause Leigh syndrome, written as G14459A or Ala72Val, replaces the amino acid alanine with the amino acid valine at protein position 72. This genetic change also has been found in people with Leber hereditary optic neuropathy and a movement disorder called dystonia, which involves involuntary muscle contractions, tremors, and other uncontrolled movements. This mutation appears to disrupt the normal assembly or activity of complex I in mitochondria. It is not known, however, how this MT-ND6 gene alteration is related to the specific features of Leigh syndrome, Leber hereditary optic neuropathy, or dystonia. It also remains unclear why a single mutation can cause such varied signs and symptoms in different people. Source: Genetic Home Reference, National Library of Medicine, MT-ND6 G14459A
