Mitochondrial complex V (ATP synthase) deficiency, nuclear type 3 (MC5DN3) is an autosomal recessive disorder with variable manifestations. Affected individuals present soon after birth or in early infancy with hypotonia, respiratory distress, and poor sucking. They have global developmental delay with mildly impaired intellectual disability. Additional features may include dystonia, ataxia, peripheral neuropathy, and seizures. Congenital cataracts, hearing impairment, and mild left cardiac ventricular hypertrophy have been reported in 1 patient each. Laboratory studies show increased lactate; some patients have hyperammonemia, 3-methylglutaconic aciduria, and hyperCKemia (Mayr et al., 2010; Zech et al., 2022).
