Overview of Gene Research
NDUFAF6, an assembly factor not part of the complex I (CI) holoenzyme, is crucial for the assembly of CI in mitochondria [1,3,4]. CI deficiencies are a major cause of primary mitochondrial disease, and NDUFAF6's role in facilitating the incorporation of NDUFS8 into CI is vital for mitochondrial function [1].
In breast cancer, knockdown of NDUFAF6 reduces cell proliferation and migration, promotes apoptosis and mitophagy, and increases mitochondrial dysfunction [2].
In childhood, mutations in NDUFAF6 can cause isolated bilateral striatal necrosis and progressive dystonia, as well as Leigh syndrome, a neurodegenerative disorder [3,4].
A cross-sectional study in Chinese rural elderly also found that the TT genotype of NDUFAF6 rs6982393 was associated with an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease, especially in those aged 60-69 [5].
In conclusion, NDUFAF6 is essential for mitochondrial complex I assembly. Studies, including knockdown in breast cancer cells and mutation analysis in childhood diseases and Alzheimer's disease, have revealed its significance in various disease conditions. These findings highlight its potential as a therapeutic target and biomarker in multiple diseases.
