NDUFB10

Chr 16AR

NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit B10

Also known as: MC1DN35, PDSW

This protein is an accessory subunit required for the functional assembly of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I, which transfers electrons from NADH to ubiquinone in the electron transport chain. Mutations cause mitochondrial complex I deficiency, nuclear type 35, inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. Complex I deficiencies typically affect high-energy demanding tissues and can present with variable neurological, cardiac, and hepatic manifestations.

Note: In-silico variant effect predictors (SIFT, PolyPhen, REVEL, CADD) may underestimate pathogenicity of missense variants in genes with GOF or DN mechanisms. Consider functional evidence and clinical context.
