Coenzyme Q10 deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder with variable manifestations, including pure myopathy, myopathy with encephalopathy, cerebellar atrophy with ataxia, and infantile multisystem disease including encephalopathy and nephropathy. It has been shown that mutations in some genes involved in CoQ10 biosynthesis cause primary CoQ10 deficiency.
