Mitochondrial Diseases
Mitochondrial diseases are a group of disorders caused by defects in the mitochondrial energy production. These diseases can affect any part of the body, but are most often seen in the nervous system, muscle, heart and the liver. They can be passed on from parents to children and can have serious health implications. Treatment of these diseases is still in its infancy, but progress is being made in the development of therapies and treatments. Mitochondrial diseases present a real challenge to medical professionals and researchers, as they are extremely complex and varied and can have long-term consequences. With a better understanding of the underlying causes of mitochondrial diseases, more effective treatments and therapies can be developed, leading to improved quality of life for those affected.
