Background
This gene encodes a homolog of the S. cerevisiae bcs1 protein which is involved in the assembly of complex III of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. The encoded protein does not contain a mitochondrial targeting sequence but experimental studies confirm that it is imported into mitochondria. Mutations in this gene are associated with mitochondrial complex III deficiency and the GRACILE syndrome. Several alternatively spliced transcripts encoding two different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016],
Function
disease:Defects in BCS1L are a cause of mitochondrial complex III deficiency (CIII deficiency) [MIM:124000]. CIII deficiency is characterized by congenital lactic acidosis. Patients had severe failure to thrive, liver dysfunction and renal tubulopathy.,disease:Defects in BCS1L are the cause of Bjoernstad syndrome (BJS) [MIM:262000]. BJS is an autosomal recessive condition characterized by sensorineural hearing loss and pili torti. The hearing loss in BJS is congenital and of variable severity. Pili torti (twisted hairs), a condition in which the hair shafts are flattened at irregular intervals and twisted 180 degrees from the normal axis, making the hair extremely brittle, is usually recognized early in childhood.,disease:Defects in BCS1L are the cause of GRACILE syndrome [MIM:603358]. GRACILE stands for 'growth retardation, aminoaciduria, cholestasis, iron overload, lactic acidosis, and
