Mitochondrial diseases are a group of genetic, inherited conditions caused by a defect in the cellular energy-producing units called mitochondria. These diseases can affect many organ systems, including the heart, brain, muscles, gastrointestinal tract, eyes, ears, and skin. Mitochondrial diseases can cause a wide range of symptoms; common symptoms include muscle weakness, developmental delay, abrupt spells of nausea and vomiting, and heart and liver problems. Diagnosis and treatment of mitochondrial diseases can be difficult due to the high variability in symptoms and the lack of effective treatments. Early diagnosis and intervention can improve the overall quality of life and reduce the progression of disease in patients with mitochondrial diseases.
