COX Syndrome: Cytochrome C Oxidase (COX) deficiency is a very rare inherited metabolic disorder characterized by a deficiency of the enzyme cytochrome C oxidase or Complex IV. Cytochrome C oxidase is an essential enzyme that is active in subcellular structures that help to regulate energy production (mitochondria). Four distinct forms of Cytochrome C Oxidase deficiency have been identified. The range and severity of symptoms varies greatly from case to case. Not a good genetic (inherited) diagnosis to have. Cytochrome C Oxidase (COX) Deficiency is a very rare metabolic disorder that appears to affect males and females in equal numbers. Hope this helps. You will need to find your code in the Q-codes
