TMEM126B is a gene that makes a protein indispensable for the assemblage of the complex. In some cases this gene can cause faults that create problems during the production of energy. Complex 1 deficiency is the most common characteristic in people that have mitochondrial disease. The complex deficiency can be isolated or it can be a part of a multiple-respiratory-chain-complex deficiency with the involvement of other parts of the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). OXPHOS is an enzymatic process that occurs in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes and generate ATP. Defective genes can be the result of mutations occurred in the maternally-inherited mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) or more frequently, in the genes located on the autosomes. The autosomes are 23 pairs of chromosomes which are responsible for the inheritance of traits and genetic
