IEMbase phenotype signal

IEMbase represents autosomal recessive TMEM126B-related transmembrane protein 126B deficiency, also labeled mitochondrial complex I deficiency, nuclear type 29.

The cached biochemical row shows decreased fibroblast complex I activity across all ages. Clinical rows include hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, myopathy, renal tubular acidosis, and characteristic exercise intolerance from infancy through adulthood.

DisMech phenotype coverage

No exact TMEM126B or MC1DN29 local target was identified.

Leigh_Syndrome.yaml provides broad complex I/oxidative-phosphorylation context, and ACAD9_Deficiency.yaml overlaps with exercise intolerance, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and complex I deficiency. Neither is disease-level coverage for TMEM126B deficiency.

The generated COX11-Related_COX_Deficiency.yaml candidate is a wrong-complex match. COX11 is a complex IV copper-chaperone/assembly disorder, not a TMEM126B-related complex I disease.

Concordance and completeness

Judgement: true local gap.

The IEMbase row is a comparatively myopathic/cardiac complex I deficiency with renal tubular acidosis and exercise intolerance. Generic Leigh and ACAD9 entries should not be used to claim TMEM126B completeness.

Curation actions

  • Add a dedicated TMEM126B/MC1DN29 target if curated.
  • Reject COX11-related complex IV deficiency as exact coverage.
  • Preserve decreased fibroblast complex I activity, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, myopathy, renal tubular acidosis, and exercise intolerance.
  • Use ACAD9 only as broad complex I/cardiomyopathy/exercise-intolerance context.
