IEMbase phenotype signal

IEMbase represents MT-CO1-related cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 deficiency. The cached rows include normal-to-high plasma alanine in adulthood, adult-onset rhabdomyolysis, adolescent/adult stroke-like episodes, epilepsy, and muscle weakness.

The source inheritance field says autosomal recessive, which is incongruent with MT-CO1 being an mtDNA-encoded gene and should be reviewed before any future KB modeling.

DisMech phenotype coverage

No exact MT-CO1 local target was identified.

The generated COX4I1-Related_COX_Deficiency.yaml candidate is a nuclear COX4I1 structural-subunit disease, not a mitochondrially encoded COX1/MT-CO1 disorder. Local complex IV module and grouping content mention mtDNA-encoded COX subunits as pathway context, but that is not exact disease coverage.

Concordance and completeness

Judgement: true local MT-CO1 complex IV gap. The COX4I1 candidate should be rejected as exact coverage.

The IEMbase row points to an mtDNA-encoded core subunit disease with adult myopathic and stroke-like features. COX4I1 is a different nuclear-encoded structural/regulatory subunit with distinct genetics and local phenotype scope.

Curation actions

  • Add a dedicated MT-CO1 cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 deficiency target if curated.
  • Reject COX4I1-Related_COX_Deficiency.yaml as exact coverage.
  • Preserve normal-to-high alanine, rhabdomyolysis, stroke-like episodes, epilepsy, and muscle weakness.
  • Review the source inheritance field before modeling this mtDNA-encoded disease.
