Variant summary: NDUFV1 c.1268C>T (p.Thr423Met) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase 51kDa subunit, iron-sulphur binding domain (IPR019575) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 251318 control chromosomes. c.1268C>T has been reported in the literature as biallelic compound heterozygous or homozygous genotypes in multiple individuals affected with Leigh Syndrome (example, PMID 33083013, 34716721, 10080174). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function (example, PMID 26345448). The most pronounced variant effect results in absence of detectable complex I in an apparently homozygous (by cDNA sequencing), but compound heterozygous genotype due to a nonsense variant on the other allele that was not expressed. Eight clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
