IEMbase phenotype signal

IEMbase represents this as PDSS1-related prenyl diphosphate synthase subunit 1 deficiency, with alternate labels primary coenzyme Q10 deficiency type 2 and trans-prenyl transferase deficiency. The record is autosomal recessive and treatability is marked unknown, with no treatment rows in the cached JSON.

Biochemical rows include abnormal CoQ10 in fibroblasts, urinary 3-methylglutaconic acid, and plasma lactate. Clinical rows include pulmonary hypertension, intellectual disability, livedo reticularis, nephrotic syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, obesity, and phalangeal erythema. Characteristic rows include cardiomyopathy, deafness, macrocephaly, and optic atrophy.

DisMech phenotype coverage

Primary_Coenzyme_Q10_Deficiency.yaml#PDSS1 is the correct local target. The local file covers autosomal recessive primary CoQ10 biosynthesis disorders and includes a PDSS1 subtype for decaprenyl diphosphate synthase subunit dysfunction in the first enzyme/polyisoprenoid side-chain step. The umbrella entry covers reduced tissue CoQ10, impaired electron transport between complexes I/II and III, oxidative phosphorylation defects, antioxidant/redox effects, and renal, neurologic, cardiac, and sensorineural disease with high-dose oral CoQ10 as disease-targeted therapy.

Concordance and completeness

Judgement: correct subtype-level mapping, with IEMbase providing more PDSS1-specific phenotype granularity.

IEMbase and DisMech agree on primary CoQ10 deficiency identity, PDSS1 subtype placement, CoQ10 deficiency, mitochondrial energy failure, neurologic, renal, cardiac, and hearing/optic involvement. The local umbrella is strong mechanistically but does not currently spell out several PDSS1-specific rows from IEMbase, including pulmonary hypertension, livedo reticularis, phalangeal erythema, obesity, macrocephaly, peripheral neuropathy, and 3-methylglutaconic acid.

Curation actions

  • Keep this record mapped to Primary_Coenzyme_Q10_Deficiency.yaml#PDSS1.
  • No mapping correction is needed.
  • Use IEMbase's PDSS1-specific renal, vascular, skin, optic, neuropathy, and biomarker rows as enrichment prompts if the subtype is expanded.
