IEMbase phenotype signal

IEMbase represents autosomal recessive LYRM7-related mitochondrial complex III deficiency, nuclear type 8. MONDO resolves this disease to the LYRM7-specific complex III deficiency nuclear type 8 term with OMIM:615838.

The cached rows emphasize increased plasma lactate in infancy and childhood, cavitating leukodystrophy on MRI, developmental delay, episodic encephalopathy, and hypotonia. A possible perinatal-death row is also present in the source phenotype table.

DisMech phenotype coverage

No exact LYRM7 or MC3DN8 local target was identified.

The generated TACO1-Related_COX_Deficiency.yaml candidate is a complex IV COX I translation disorder, not a complex III LYRM7 disorder. The high fuzzy score appears to be driven by the shared "nuclear type 8" phrasing across different respiratory-chain complexes.

Concordance and completeness

Judgement: true local complex III gap. The TACO1 candidate should be rejected.

The IEMbase record is specific for LYRM7/MC3DN8 and carries a neurologic, leukodystrophy, lactate, and hypotonia phenotype signal. A complex IV TACO1 entry is not acceptable exact coverage despite the broad mitochondrial respiratory-chain overlap.

Curation actions

  • Add a dedicated LYRM7/MC3DN8 target if curated.
  • Reject TACO1-Related_COX_Deficiency.yaml as exact coverage.
  • Preserve lactate elevation, cavitating leukodystrophy, developmental delay, episodic encephalopathy, hypotonia, and possible perinatal death.
  • Keep complex III nuclear type 8 distinct from TACO1 complex IV nuclear type 8.
