What is the rs11085727 variant?
rs11085727 is a SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) in the NDUFAF1 (NADH:Ubiquinone Oxidoreductase Complex Assembly Factor 1) gene. It belongs to the Mitochondrial category and is part of the Mitochondrial Energy Production & PEM biological cluster. NDUFAF1 is required for the assembly and stability of mitochondrial Complex I.
Biological role and pathway
This variant sits within the NDUFAF1 gene, which is involved in the oxidative phosphorylation pathway. Genes within the Mitochondrial Energy Production & PEM cluster work together to maintain balanced function across interconnected biological systems.
Variants in genes within this pathway may influence an individual's predisposition to altered function — particularly under conditions of physiological stress such as viral infection or prolonged illness.
rs11085727 and Long COVID / ME-CFS research
Variants affecting Complex I assembly may reduce cellular energy capacity and contribute to fatigue syndromes associated with Long COVID.
