Primary CoQ deficiency is due to defects in C CoQ biosynthesis, while secondary forms are due to other causes. A review of 149 cases, including our cohort of 76 patients, confirms that CoQ deficiency is a clinically and ge- netically heterogeneous syndrome that mainly begins in childhood and predominantly manifests as cerebellar ataxia. Coenzyme Q measurement in muscle is the gold standard for diagnosis. Iden- tification of CoQ deficiency is important because the condition frequently responds to treat- ment. Causative mutations have been identified in a small proportion of patients. Arch Neurol. 2012;69(8):978-983.
