COMBINED OXIDATIVE PHOSPHORYLATION DEFECT TYPE 20

Alternate names

COMBINED OXIDATIVE PHOSPHORYLATION DEFECT TYPE 20 Is also known as coxpd20

Description

Combined oxidative phosphorylation defect type 20 is a rare mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation disorder characterized by variable combination of psychomotor delay, hypotonia, muscle weakness, seizures, microcephaly, cardiomyopathy and mild dysmorphic facial features. Variable types of structural brain anomalies have also been reported. Biochemical studies typically show decreased activity of mitochondrial complexes (mainly complex I).

Most common symptoms of COMBINED OXIDATIVE PHOSPHORYLATION DEFECT TYPE 20

  • Seizures
  • Global developmental delay
  • Generalized hypotonia
  • Microcephaly
  • Ataxia
