Primary coenzyme Q10 deficiency-6 is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by onset in infancy of severe progressive nephrotic syndrome resulting in end-stage renal failure and sensorineural deafness. Renal biopsy usually shows focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). Some patients may show a favorable response to oral coenzyme Q supplementation (summary by Heeringa et al., 2011).
