NDUFS8
Chr 11ARNADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase core subunit S8
Also known as: CI-23k, CI23KD, MC1DN2, TYKY
The protein is a subunit of mitochondrial Complex I that binds iron-sulfur clusters and is required for electron transfer in the respiratory chain. Mutations cause mitochondrial complex I deficiency and Leigh syndrome through autosomal recessive inheritance. The pathogenic mechanism involves impaired NADH oxidation and disrupted mitochondrial energy production.

Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
Typical tolerance to LoF variation
Mild missense constraint
Predictions shown for reference only — model trained on dominant genes, not applicable to AR conditions.
The Badonyi & Marsh prediction model was trained exclusively on dominant disease genes. Predictions are not reliable for genes with autosomal recessive inheritance and are shown at reduced opacity for reference only.
