Learn About Mitochondrial Complex 2 Deficiency

What is the definition of Mitochondrial Complex 2 Deficiency?
Complex II deficiency is a mitochondrial disease. Mitochondria are specialized compartments in cells that create more than 90% of the energy needed by the body. In mitochondrial diseases, the mitochondria don't work correctly resulting in less energy in the cell, cell injury and cell death. The symptoms can vary greatly from serious symptoms in infancy to muscle disease beginning in adulthood. Complex II deficiency can be caused by genetic changes in the SDHA, SDHB, SDHD, or SDHAF1 genes. In many cases the underlying genetic changes cannot be identified. Complex II deficiency is inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion. Complex II deficiency genetic change carriers may be at an increased risk for certain cancers.
