Coenzyme Q deficiency symptoms -
This conversion between the oxidised-reduced states is what allows it to act as cofactor of the enzymatic reactions that take place in the mitochondria in order to produce energy. Energy production is not the only function of CoQ It also acts as a powerful antioxidant and is particularly good at preventing lipid peroxidation, the process by which free radicals damage our lipid cell membranes.
This can have a beneficial effect on atherosclerosis prevention, as well as helping with maintaining the antioxidant activity of vitamin E and vitamin C.
CoQ10 is the only fat-soluble antioxidant that can be produced by our body. CoQ10 is present in all the cells of our body, and its production is controlled by the same pathway that controls cholesterol synthesis.
Our ability to produce CoQ10 peaks between the ages of 20 and 30 and declines as we age, when we need to rely more on external sources, such as a supplement. Statins, which are commonly prescribed to people with high cholesterol, block CoQ10 production and contribute to reduced CoQ10 levels later in life.
CoQ10 is present in many animal protein sources, vegetables, fruits and cereals. Since CoQ10 is mainly found in high energy-demanding tissues, animal hearts and livers represent the richest sources. However, people who are taking statins, or suffer from conditions that can affect CoQ10 synthesis, could probably benefit from CoQ10 supplementation to help replenish their levels 4.
Taking a highly-absorbable CoQ10 supplement is the most efficient way to get this nutrient into your body. Adequate CoQ10 levels are essential for the proper functioning of our cells, but due to its natural structure it is poorly absorbed.
A highly bioavailable supplement that changes this compound from fat-soluble to water-soluble results in significantly higher absorption of this critical co-enzyme.
On going research suggests that there could be a link to improved IVF outcomes for those taking CoQ10 supplements. In one study of a group of women undergoing IVF, those who were given CoQ10 as a pretreatment experienced higher fertilization rates and an improved ovarian response, compared with the group who did not.
Dietary antioxidants such as CoQ10 may help reduce oxidative stress, which can have an impact on both sperm and egg quality. Of course this is just one study and is by no means conclusive proof of the benefits of CoQ10 on fertility. If you are planning to undergo fertility treatment and considering taking a CoQ10 supplement it is best to consult your doctor first.
There is some evidence to suggest that supplementing with CoQ10 could also help with male infertility. Oxidative stress caused by lifestyle factors such as drinking alcohol, smoking, eating too much salt, sugar, fat and processed food is thought to cause defective sperm function - which can be a major cause of male infertility.
Research has shown that antioxidants, of which CoQ10 is one, can help reduce oxidative stress, as well as making positive lifestyle changes 8 such as regular exercise, eating a healthy diet and not smoking.
Two major contributing factors to a CoQ10 deficiency are age and the use of statins: As we get older our ability to naturally produce CoQ10 reduces. Statin drugs can inhibit the body's natural production of CoQ10 during use. Statins are drugs widely used to prevent and treat some heart diseases.
Statins block cholesterol synthesis, which is a key step for CoQ10 biosynthesis, and therefore it has been linked to a reduction in CoQ10 levels in the body 3. Whilst everyone is different, people who have a deficiency in CoQ10 levels often experience physical fatigue and muscle weakness, even while undertaking relatively non-strenuous physical activities such as walking.
Low CoQ10 levels can also cause mental fatigue, with symptoms including difficulty in concentrating, and memory lapses. CoQ10 is an important antioxidant molecule, protecting the cell from oxidative stress. This in turn could lead to a faster progression of the disease.
However, as the levels decline with age, with the use of cholesterol-blocking drugs like statins , or due to some diseases, some people might find CoQ10 supplementation beneficial. While statins are generally well tolerated, a common side effect are muscle aches and cramps, which are known as SAMS statin-associated muscle symptoms.
SAMS can be quite distressing, and they are often the main cause for stopping statin treatment. It is thought that SAMS are caused by the inhibition of cholesterol production, which is involved in CoQ10 production.
Recent data suggest that CoQ10 supplementation might be beneficial in preventing or treating SMAS, while having no effect on statin protective function. In summary, evidence suggests that CoQ10 supplements may be beneficial for certain groups of people - those on statins, women undergoing IVF and those experiencing male infertility.
Whilst it can be obtained through diet, a highly-absorbable supplement seems like an efficient way to get this nutrient into your body.
Hernandez-Camacho JD, Bernier M, Lopez-Lluch G, Navas P. Coenzyme Q10 Supplementation in Aging and Disease. Front Physiol.
Proximal muscle weakness started at age 32 during her first pregnancy and progressed rapidly. Serum CK was 2. After 1 month of supplementation, CK levels returned to normal and the patient reported a dramatic improvement of muscle strength, which was confirmed by manual and quantitative testing.
After 6 months of supplementation, she was able to take care of her baby and all household chores. Serum TMS examinations showed multiple acyl-CoA derivatives and low carnitine.
A repeated muscle biopsy was performed. Carnitine supplementation and a low-protein low-fat diet were ineffective, and associated with further worsening of symptoms. The elevation of LDH, CK and liver enzymes decreased to normal values and she was able to work and to take care of her 2-year-old daughter.
CoQ10 supplementation was stopped and she was maintained on riboflavin therapy, which resulted in another deterioration of her symptoms within 3 weeks and prompted us to continue combined supplementation with CoQ10 and riboflavin Table 1. Currently 12 months after the initiation of the combined CoQ10 and riboflavin treatment , she only has slight residual neck flexor weakness, and CK-levels are normal.
Note : The combined elevation of short C4, C5 , medium C8, C10 and long-chain C14 : 1 acylcarnitines is characteristic of GA-II.
Free carnitine C0 was repeatedly diminished reflecting excretion of acylcarnitines in the urine. Patient 2 is a year-old man of Turkish origin. His parents are consanguineous but there is no family history of similar disorders. Six months prior to examination, he developed premature fatigue, difficulty walking and weakness of shoulder, hip and neck muscles.
Neurological examination showed bilateral scapular winging, waddling gait and proximal muscle weakness with decreased tendon reflexes. EMG showed myopathic alterations in proximal muscles. Nerve conduction velocities and brain MRI were normal.
Within 3 months, CK levels normalized and the patient resumed work. However, TMS examination showed accumulation of multiple acyl-CoA derivatives. Patient 3, a year-old boy, is the third of five children in a consanguineous Kurdish family. His parents and three of four siblings age 19, 11 and 9 years are healthy, while a year-old sister is similarly affected patient 4.
Onset in the sister was at 14 years, with exercise intolerance, premature fatigue and proximal weakness. There was no history of myoglobulinuria. There was no muscle hypertrophy. Our working diagnosis was either a limb-girdle dystrophy or a metabolic muscle disease.
After reviewing the muscle biopsy from her affected brother see later , supplementation with CoQ10 was initiated. This resulted in full recovery within 3 weeks. However, 9 months later her symptoms reappeared in the form of muscle cramps and weakness.
No hepatopathy was observed. Since then, several months have elapsed and she is totally symptom free. Her year-old brother patient 3 had just emerging symptoms.
He recently began to experience muscle cramps and premature fatigue. No muscle weakness was detected. A muscle biopsy was performed from the vastus lateralis muscle. Patient 5 is a year-old girl, the first child of a consanguineous Turkish family. Just 1 month prior to submission, she had subacute onset of muscle weakness and pain resembling polymyositis.
She was weak and had a Gowers sign. EMG was normal. A metabolic myopathy was suspected and a muscle biopsy was performed.
TMS examination showed accumulation of multiple acyl-CoA derivatives. This resulted in complete cessation of the muscle symptoms. One younger sister was found to be similarly affected patient 6.
Patient 7 is a year-old girl of a consanguineous Turkish family. She presented at age 12 with subacute onset of muscle weakness, myalgia and loss of ambulation within 20 days. A muscle biopsy was performed. At a 6-month follow-up visit she was doing fine.
Several weeks later, her symptoms re-appeared when she incidentally stopped riboflavin. With re-initiation of riboflavin, she was back to normal. Two of her siblings had expired at ages 6 and 9 months with recurrent vomiting of unknown origin. Six micrometre thick serial cross-sections of muscle biopsy specimens were obtained for histochemical stains according to standard procedures.
A frozen portion of the biopsy was used for biochemistry. Respiratory chain RC complexes I—IV activities were determined in skeletal muscle homogenate spectrophotometrically Cary 50, VARIAN as described Fischer et al. TMS was performed as described Gempel et al. Genomic sequence of the ETFDH genes Goodman et al.
Muscle histology in all five index cases revealed similar findings: moderate to severe myopathy with small vacuoles in most type 1 fibres Fig. However, the vacuolar change was most prominent in patient 5 Fig. A few COX negative fibres were detected in all cases Fig. SDH stain was faint in two cases patients 5 and 7, data not shown.
Histological findings of patient 1 A — G , patient 2 H — J , patient 3 L and patient 5 K. There are few COX negative fibres asterixis in C , F. Sudan black D , G or Oil-Red-O J , L stain shows lipid accumulation in type 1 fibres of all patients. Ragged red fibres were seen rarely Gomori trichrome stain: I.
Muscle CoQ10 was decreased in all five cases. The biochemical results are summarized in Table 2. Because of clinical progression on long-term CoQ10 monotherapy, patient 1 underwent a second muscle biopsy. Muscle histology was similar to the first biopsy; however, biochemical measurements of respiratory chain enzymes and CoQ10 were within normal range.
Summary of the clinical, histological, biochemical and genetic data of our five patients carrying mutations in ETFDH. Notably, most of these patients had severe isolated or combined respiratory chain defects. TMS was performed in four of our five index patients and showed a combined elevation of short C4, C5 , medium C8, C10 and long-chain C acylcarnitines Table 1.
This TMS result is characteristic of GAII. Free carnitine C0 was repeatedly diminished reflecting excretion of acylcarnitines in the urine Table 1.
Sequence analysis of ETFDH in patient 1 revealed two heterozygous missense mutations, c. The mutation c. Each parent was heterozygous for one of the mutations. Patients 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 harboured the same homozygous missense mutation, c. As all these patients belonged to three families of Turkish or Kurdish origin, this implies that LP is more frequent in this region.
This mutation was not detected in 50 Turkish normal control samples and it co-segregated with the disease phenotype within the families Fig.
One healthy sibling of patient 3 also carried the mutation in homozygous form, but this child was below the age of onset in his siblings.
This mutation had not been described previously, but it affects a conserved amino acid Fig. Patient 7 harboured a novel homozygous missense mutation, c. This mutation affects a conserved amino acid Fig.
Mutations in this part of the protein affect most likely the catalytic activity and the stability of the tetramer Westover et al.
RFLP analysis for the mutation LP in the family of patient 2. Presence of a homozygous state in muscle DNA lane 2 and blood DNA lane 7 of the patient. The mutation is heterozygous in both parents mother—lane 1; father—lane 3 and in one healthy sibling lane 6 , and absent in another healthy sibling lane 4 and in the patients wife lane 5 as well as in a normal control lane 8.
We present seven patients from five independent families with isolated myopathy, severe CoQ10 deficiency, and mutations in the ETFDH gene, previously associated with GAII. Our data indicate that ETFDH is the fourth gene associated with CoQ10 deficiency. Mutations in two genes involved in CoQ10 biosynthesis cause primary CoQ10 deficiency with infantile mitochondrial encephalomyopathy.
Mutations in the aprataxin gene cause secondary CoQ10 deficiency associated with ataxia oculomotor apraxia AOA1 and mutations in the ETFDH gene cause secondary CoQ10 deficiency associated with isolated myopathy. Multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency or glutaric aciduria type II GAII is an autosomal recessive disorder of fatty acid and amino acid metabolism, due to a defect of electron transport from FAD-containing CoA dehydrogenases to CoQ in the mitochondrial electron transport chain Przyrembel et al.
The heterogeneous clinical features of patients with GAII fall into three main variants Olsen et al. A neonatal-onset form GAII type I is characterized by congenital anomalies, severe non-ketotic hypoglycaemia, metabolic acidosis and excretion of large amounts of fatty acid- and amino acid-derived metabolites.
A second neonatal-onset form GAII type II does not have congenital anomalies. A late-onset form GAII type III is characterized by hepatomegaly, lipid storage myopathy and recurrent episodes of lethargy, vomiting, hypoglycemia and metabolic acidosis often triggered by metabolic stress.
Patients complain of muscle pain, exercise intolerance and proximal weakness, but glutaric aciduria is usually intermittent and coincides with worsening of the symptoms.
All three clinical variants are caused by mutations in one of the three genes, two of which encode the alpha- and beta-subunits of the electron transfer flavoprotein ETFA , OMIM : ; ETFB OMIM : , while the third encodes ETF ubiquinone oxidoreductase ETFDH OMIM All our patients harboured missense mutations in ETFDH and affected the C-terminal of the protein.
Nonsense mutations and missense mutations in the N-terminal part of the protein usually lead to the more severe neonatal GAII type I or type II.
However, some cases of GAII are due to as yet unidentified disturbances of riboflavin metabolism. Riboflavin vitamin B2 is the co-factor shared by ETF , ETFDH and all acyl-CoA dehydrogenases. Therapy with riboflavin, carnitine and low-fat, low-protein diet is beneficial, although the long-term treatment of patients with late-onset GAII is still challenging Olsen et al.
The discovery of pathogenic ETFDH mutations in our patients with myopathic CoQ10 deficiency shows that late-onset GAII, usually caused by less severe mutations in the ETFDH gene, probably are one and the same disease, although the severe defect of CoQ10 in muscle was initially considered a primary aetiological event.
This concept provides important clues to pathophysiology and useful tools for therapy. How can ETFDH deficiency result in CoQ10 deficiency?
As CoQ10 is the direct acceptor of electrons from ETF, it stands to reason that lack or dysfunction of the reducing enzyme could—via some feedback mechanism—downregulate the synthesis of CoQ Alternatively, faulty binding of the enzyme to CoQ10 could result in excessive degradation of the acceptor molecule Olsen et al.
CoQ10 had not been measured in previous patients with GAII, although it was repeatedly reported that respiratory chain complexes were decreased Beresford et al.
Respiratory chain dysfunction and clinical presentation suggest that the physiopathology of GAII may well be related to CoQ10 deficiency.
Not surprisingly, the clinical presentation of late-onset GAII patients de Visser et al. Muscle weakness fluctuates and often worsens during intermittent infections, fasting, catabolic stress or pregnancy. Neck flexor weakness is relatively typical and was prominent in all patients described here.
Episodes of hepatopathy, vomiting and somnolence or stupor Reyés syndrome-like crises were common in previously described patients with GAII de Visser et al. Some patients also had respiratory failure requiring assisted ventilation.
Of our patients, only one patient 1 had an episode of weakness accompanied by LDH and liver transaminase elevation, which resolved over several weeks, whereas the other six had isolated myopathy, with no evidence of hepatopathy or encephalopathy, and none of our patients showed involvement of the respiratory muscles.
The lack of extramuscular symptoms explains why initially we did not suspect GAII. Conversely, our cases show that GAII may present as a pure myopathy without clinical signs of a systemic metabolic disease. In the late-onset form of GAII and in previous cases with the myopathic variant of CoQ10 deficiency, onset of symptoms was before age 15 years.
Thus, it is noteworthy that two of our patients were 32 and 29 years old at presentation, implying that this diagnosis should be considered even in adult-onset cases. Thus, lipid storage myopathy and respiratory chain dysfunction are hallmarks of the disease.
TMS suggested multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency in the four patients in whom it was performed. In patient 1, the TMS profile and the low level of free carnitine in serum suggested a block in mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation and led to the genetic diagnosis of GAII.
The therapy and follow-up of our patients led us to important conclusions. After 3—6 months of CoQ10 supplementation, all patients showed dramatic clinical improvement and normalization of serum CK and lactate levels.
This was also true in all other reported cases with the myopathic phenotype Lalani et al. As our initial diagnosis was primary myopathic CoQ10 deficiency, in four of our patients we initiated high-dose CoQ10, which resulted in prominent clinical and biochemical improvement.
After 3 months of combined CoQ10 and riboflavin therapy, she was completely normal. Because of the good condition and cooperation of the patient, we stopped CoQ10 supplementation and continued with riboflavin monotherapy, but after 3 weeks the reappearance of proximal muscle weakness prompted us to continue with combined riboflavin and CoQ10 supplementation.
It seems that patients with ETFDH deficiency in long-term need both CoQ10 and riboflavin to maintain a good muscle function. Because of the additional carnitine deficiency, carnitine supplementation was repeatedly tried, but never resulted in improvement, rather worsening of symptoms.
For cases 5 and 7, riboflavin was given alone as a single agent just based on the pattern of TMS screening which originally denoted a GAII pattern. This scheme really worked well, and they currently are not in need of CoQ Of course, longer follow-up is required.
We sequenced ETFDH in 10 other patients with CoQ10 deficiency. Eight of these patients presented with ataxia and epilepsy and only two showed myopathy. One of them was a 7-year-old boy with normal TMS result patient 3 in Horvath et al. Mutations of the ETFDH gene were not detected in any of these cases, suggesting further genetic heterogeneity.
We would suggest that patients should be kept on both CoQ10 and riboflavin supplementation, especially on the protracted course. The authors thank Ira Kaus, Manja Thorwirt, Andrea Zöllner and Eva Schmidtmeyer for technical assistance.

Clinical research indicates that introducing CoQ10 prior to heart surgery, including bypass surgery and heart transplantation, can reduce damage caused by free radicals, strengthen heart function, and lower the incidence of irregular heart beat arrhythmias during the recovery phase.
You should not take any supplements before surgery unless your provider approves. Gum disease is a common problem that causes swelling, bleeding, pain, and redness of the gums. Clinical studies show that people with gum disease tend to have low levels of CoQ10 in their gums.

Most people get wymptoms CoQ10 through a balanced diet, but supplements may help people with particular health conditions see Uses Cosnzymedeficjency those taking certain medications see Interactions section.
CoQ10 is available as a supplement in several forms, including soft gel capsules, oral spray, hard shell capsules, and tablets. CoQ10 is also added to various cosmetics.
Pediatric DO NOT give CoQ10 to a child under 18 except under the supervision of a health care provider. For adults 19 years and older: The recommended dose for CoQ10 supplementation is 30 to mg daily.
Soft gels tend to be better absorbed than capsules or other preparations. Higher doses may be recommended for specific conditions. CoQ10 is fat soluble, so it should be taken with a meal containing fat so your body can absorb it. Also, taking CoQ10 at night may help with the body's ability to use it.
Because of the potential for side effects and interactions with medications, you should take dietary supplements only under the supervision of a knowledgeable health care provider. CoQ10 appears to be safe with Conzyme major side effects, except occasional stomach upset.
However, researchers have not done studies and do not know if CoQ10 supplements are safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. CoQ10 may lower blood sugar, so people with diabetes should talk with their provider before taking it to avoid the risk of low blood sugar.
Some suggest that it may also lower blood pressure. If you are being treated with any of the following medications, you should not use CoQ10 without first talking to your health care provider. Chemotherapy medications: Researchers are not sure whether CoQ10's antioxidant effect might make some chemotherapy drugs less effective.
Ceonzyme your oncologist before taking antioxidants or any supplement along with chemotherapy. Daunorubicin and doxorubicin: CoQ10 may help reduce the toxic effects on the heart caused by daunorubicin Cerubidin and doxorubicin Adriamycintwo chemotherapy medications that are used to treat several kinds of cancer.
Blood pressure medications: CoQ10 may work with blood pressure medications to lower blood pressure. In a defiviency study sykptoms people taking blood pressure medications, adding CoQ10 supplements allowed them to reduce the doses of these medications.
More research is needed, however. If you take medication for high blood pressure, talk to your provider before taking CoQ10, and DO NOT stop taking your regular medication.
Blood-thinning medications: There have been reports that CoQ10 may make medications such as warfarin Coumadin or clopidigrel Plavix less effective at thinning the blood. If you take blood thinners, ask your provider before taking CoQ Betaxolol Betoptic : CoQ10 supplements may reduce the heart-related side effects of betaxolol drops Betoptica beta-blocker medication used to treat glaucoma, without making the medication any less effective.

The depletion of CoQ10 status in cardiovascular status is related to weakened cellular antioxidant status along with the impaired function of mitochondria and energy supply of the affected cells. Supplementation with CoQ10 has significant implications for improvement in cardiac-related mortality. Significant symptomatic improvement is also observed in heart failure patients with CoQ10 supplementation. The treatment of CoQ10 deficiency in the body can be countered using the intake of CoQ10 dietary supplements. It shall be noted that toxicity of this supplement does not exist even at the highest dose of oral supplementation. CoQ10 dietary supplements are contraindicated in patients with liver or kidney disease patients taking chemotherapeutic drugs, and diabetes patients. Since this molecule has chemical similarity with vitamin K, it may potential interaction with warfarin, causing failure of warfarin therapy.

Does Coenzyme Q10 Supplementation Reduce Statin Side Effects?
Coenzyme Q deficiency symptoms -
Taking a highly-absorbable CoQ10 supplement is the most efficient way to get this nutrient into your body. Adequate CoQ10 levels are essential for the proper functioning of our cells, but due to its natural structure it is poorly absorbed.
A highly bioavailable supplement that changes this compound from fat-soluble to water-soluble results in significantly higher absorption of this critical co-enzyme.
On going research suggests that there could be a link to improved IVF outcomes for those taking CoQ10 supplements. In one study of a group of women undergoing IVF, those who were given CoQ10 as a pretreatment experienced higher fertilization rates and an improved ovarian response, compared with the group who did not.
Dietary antioxidants such as CoQ10 may help reduce oxidative stress, which can have an impact on both sperm and egg quality. Of course this is just one study and is by no means conclusive proof of the benefits of CoQ10 on fertility.
If you are planning to undergo fertility treatment and considering taking a CoQ10 supplement it is best to consult your doctor first. There is some evidence to suggest that supplementing with CoQ10 could also help with male infertility. Oxidative stress caused by lifestyle factors such as drinking alcohol, smoking, eating too much salt, sugar, fat and processed food is thought to cause defective sperm function - which can be a major cause of male infertility.
Research has shown that antioxidants, of which CoQ10 is one, can help reduce oxidative stress, as well as making positive lifestyle changes 8 such as regular exercise, eating a healthy diet and not smoking.
Two major contributing factors to a CoQ10 deficiency are age and the use of statins: As we get older our ability to naturally produce CoQ10 reduces. Statin drugs can inhibit the body's natural production of CoQ10 during use.
Statins are drugs widely used to prevent and treat some heart diseases. Statins block cholesterol synthesis, which is a key step for CoQ10 biosynthesis, and therefore it has been linked to a reduction in CoQ10 levels in the body 3.
Whilst everyone is different, people who have a deficiency in CoQ10 levels often experience physical fatigue and muscle weakness, even while undertaking relatively non-strenuous physical activities such as walking. Low CoQ10 levels can also cause mental fatigue, with symptoms including difficulty in concentrating, and memory lapses.

Compr Rev Food Sci Food Saf. Manzar H, Abdulhussein D, Yap TE, Cordeiro MF. Cellular Consequences of Coenzyme Q10 Deficiency in Neurodegeneration of the Retina and Brain. Neck flexor weakness is relatively typical and was prominent in all patients described here.
Episodes of hepatopathy, vomiting and somnolence or stupor Reyés syndrome-like crises were common in previously described patients with GAII de Visser et al. Some patients also had respiratory failure requiring assisted ventilation.
Of our patients, only one patient 1 had an episode of weakness accompanied by LDH and liver transaminase elevation, which resolved over several weeks, whereas the other six had isolated myopathy, with no evidence of hepatopathy or encephalopathy, and none of our patients showed involvement of the respiratory muscles.
The lack of extramuscular symptoms explains why initially we did not suspect GAII. Conversely, our cases show that GAII may present as a pure myopathy without clinical signs of a systemic metabolic disease.
In the late-onset form of GAII and in previous cases with the myopathic variant of CoQ10 deficiency, onset of symptoms was before age 15 years. Thus, it is noteworthy that two of our patients were 32 and 29 years old at presentation, implying that this diagnosis should be considered even in adult-onset cases.
Thus, lipid storage myopathy and respiratory chain dysfunction are hallmarks of the disease. TMS suggested multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency in the four patients in whom it was performed.
In patient 1, the TMS profile and the low level of free carnitine in serum suggested a block in mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation and led to the genetic diagnosis of GAII. The therapy and follow-up of our patients led us to important conclusions.
After 3—6 months of CoQ10 supplementation, all patients showed dramatic clinical improvement and normalization of serum CK and lactate levels. This was also true in all other reported cases with the myopathic phenotype Lalani et al. As our initial diagnosis was primary myopathic CoQ10 deficiency, in four of our patients we initiated high-dose CoQ10, which resulted in prominent clinical and biochemical improvement.
After 3 months of combined CoQ10 and riboflavin therapy, she was completely normal. Because of the good condition and cooperation of the patient, we stopped CoQ10 supplementation and continued with riboflavin monotherapy, but after 3 weeks the reappearance of proximal muscle weakness prompted us to continue with combined riboflavin and CoQ10 supplementation.
It seems that patients with ETFDH deficiency in long-term need both CoQ10 and riboflavin to maintain a good muscle function. Because of the additional carnitine deficiency, carnitine supplementation was repeatedly tried, but never resulted in improvement, rather worsening of symptoms.
For cases 5 and 7, riboflavin was given alone as a single agent just based on the pattern of TMS screening which originally denoted a GAII pattern. This scheme really worked well, and they currently are not in need of CoQ Of course, longer follow-up is required.
We sequenced ETFDH in 10 other patients with CoQ10 deficiency. Eight of these patients presented with ataxia and epilepsy and only two showed myopathy. One of them was a 7-year-old boy with normal TMS result patient 3 in Horvath et al.
Mutations of the ETFDH gene were not detected in any of these cases, suggesting further genetic heterogeneity.
We would suggest that patients should be kept on both CoQ10 and riboflavin supplementation, especially on the protracted course. The authors thank Ira Kaus, Manja Thorwirt, Andrea Zöllner and Eva Schmidtmeyer for technical assistance.
