Combined oxidative phosphorylation defect type 26

What it is

A rare mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation disorder characterized by a highly variable phenotype which may present as exercise intolerance with prominent exertional dyspnea, progressive muscle weakness, spasticity, and neuropathy, but without cognitive impairment or cardiac involvement, or as global developmental delay, growth retardation, hypotonia, and spasticity. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, optic atrophy, seizures, and dysmorphic facial features have also been reported in the more severe phenotype. Serum lactate may be elevated, and muscle biopsy shows myopathic features and variably decreased activity of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes.

Prevalence figures describe populations, not individuals, and are often estimates from a single study. Where the figure is an incidence or a birth prevalence, it says so.

ICD-10 codes

ICD-10 has no distinct code for most rare diseases, so many are filed under the nearest available one. A shared code identifies the group, not this disease — the ORPHAcode above is what identifies it.

Reached through the ICD-10 categories this disease is filed under, so these describe the broader group rather than this disease specifically.
