MT-ND6 (NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase chain 6) is a gene. The public catalogues list it as a drug target, and clinical evidence ties its variants to diagnosis, prognosis or drug response.
Core subunit of the mitochondrial membrane respiratory chain NADH dehydrogenase (Complex I) which catalyses electron transfer from NADH through the respiratory chain, using ubiquinone as an electron acceptor. Essential for the catalytic activity and assembly of complex I.
Open Targets scores its association with cancer at 0.52 (direct and indirect evidence; datatypes clinical 0.67, literature 0.29, genetic association 0.63, somatic mutation 0.18, animal model 0.33).

No product in this corpus aims at MT-ND6 yet. Drugs bind the molecule precisely: to switch it off, flag the cell for the immune system, or deliver a payload.
Specificity not established: no corpus medicine is aimed at it and the catalogues give it only the role drug-target; HPA finds the RNA tissue enhanced, which says where the protein sits but not whether the tumour differs from normal tissue. HPA MT-ND6: RNA tissue enhanced (heart muscle 33,513 nTPM, skeletal muscle 54,271 nTPM); no normal tissue stained high. Distribution: no corpus cancer carries a prevalence row, threshold or catalogue link for it; Open Targets associates it with 0 specific cancer types at or above 0.5. (No rule of scripts/fetch-target-specificity.ts fired.)
