Expanding the clinical spectrum of primary coenzyme Q10 deficiency type 6: The first case with cardiomyopathy

Clin Genet. 2022 Oct;102(4):350-351. doi: 10.1111/cge.14182. Epub 2022 Jul 6.

Abstract

We report a 19-month-old patient with cardiomyopathy as the first presenting feature of primary COQ10 deficiency-6. This case expands the phenotypic spectrum of this disorder. Furthermore, it shows that genetic testing for primary COQ10 deficiency should be considered in patients with pediatric-onset cardiomyopathy as it can guide treatment options.
