IEMbase phenotype signal

IEMbase represents mitochondrial MT-ATP8-related ATP synthase F0 subunit 8 deficiency. The cached rows point to adolescent neurologic disease with increased CSF lactate but normal plasma lactate, adolescent ataxia, dysarthria, hyporeflexia, learning disability, ophthalmoplegia, polyneuropathy, childhood exercise intolerance, childhood muscle weakness, childhood vision loss/optic atrophy, and adolescent hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

DisMech phenotype coverage

No exact MT-ATP8 local target was identified.

NARP_syndrome.yaml is relevant context because it includes MT-ATP6/8 complex V biology and cites MT-ATP8 as a less frequent mitochondrial disease gene in the ATP synthase spectrum. However, the file is centered on MT-ATP6/NARP and does not model a standalone MT-ATP8 disease. The generated 3-Hydroxy-3-Methylglutaryl-CoA_Synthase_Deficiency.yaml candidate is a false positive and has no disease-identity relationship to ATP synthase subunit 8.

Concordance and completeness

Judgement: true MT-ATP8 complex V local gap, with partial MT-ATP6/8 context in NARP_syndrome.yaml.

IEMbase supplies a useful phenotype seed for future MT-ATP8 curation: CSF/plasma lactate discordance, ataxia, dysarthria, exercise intolerance, hyporeflexia, learning disability, ophthalmoplegia, polyneuropathy, vision loss/optic atrophy, muscle weakness, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Curation actions

  • Add a dedicated MT-ATP8 ATP synthase subunit 8 deficiency target if curated.
  • Treat NARP_syndrome.yaml as context only, not exact coverage.
  • Reject 3-Hydroxy-3-Methylglutaryl-CoA_Synthase_Deficiency.yaml as exact coverage.
  • Preserve adolescent neurologic, visual, peripheral nerve, cardiomyopathy, and lactate prompts.
