What is the normal function of the FASTKD2 gene?

From Entrez GeneThis link leads to a site outside Genetics Home Reference.:

This gene encodes a protein that is localized in the mitochondrial inner compartment and that may play a role in mitochondrial apoptosis. Nonsense mutations have been reported to result in cytochrome c oxidase deficiency. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

How are changes in the FASTKD2 gene related to health conditions?

Genetics Home Reference provides information about cytochrome c oxidase deficiency, which is associated with changes in the FASTKD2 gene.
