Clinical Characteristics of Primary Coenzyme Q<sub>10</sub> Deficiency</h2><p>Primary deficiency of coenzyme Q<sub>10</sub> (CoQ<sub>10</sub>), a lipid component of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, is classified as a mitochondrial respiratory chain disorder [<a class="bibr" href="#coq10-def.REF.dimauro.2013.429" rid="coq10-def.REF.dimauro.2013.429">DiMauro et al 2013</a>]. In this <i>GeneReview</i>, the term "primary CoQ<sub>10</sub> deficiency" refers to the group of conditions characterized by a reduction of CoQ<sub>10</sub> levels in tissues or cultured cells associated with biallelic pathogenic variants in one of the ten genes involved in the biosynthesis of CoQ<sub>10</sub>.</p><p>Primary CoQ<sub>10</sub> deficiency (also referred to as primary ubiquinone deficiency) is associated with an extremely heterogeneous group of clinical manifestations, as described below (see also <a href="/books/NBK410087/table/coq10-def.T.primary_coenzyme_q10_deficie/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobcoq10defTprimarycoenzymeq10deficie">Table 1</a>).</p><div id="coq10-def.Clinical_Manifestations"><h3>Clinical Manifestations</h3><p>The manifestations of primary CoQ<sub>10</sub> deficiency vary (see <a href="/books/NBK410087/table/coq10-def.T.primary_coenzyme_q10_deficie/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobcoq10defTprimarycoenzymeq10deficie">Table 1</a>).
