Mitochondrial conditions
Mitochondria play a central role in cellular energy production.
Variants in mitochondrial DNA, or in nuclear genes that affect mitochondrial function, can lead to complex, multi-system conditions. As mitochondria fuel your brain, muscles and metabolism, mitochondrial disorders may present with:
- Muscle weakness or exercise intolerance
- Neurological symptoms
- Metabolic irregularities
- Combinations of symptoms that do not fit a single, straightforward diagnosis
The symptoms can be subtle and variable. As a result, many patients are told that their symptoms are “too non‑specific” for further investigation.
However, mitochondrial disorders are more common than previously thought. A careful evaluation can help to establish whether genetic testing is appropriate, and which type would be the most informative.
Who is this for?
People who:
- Experience ongoing symptoms such as fatigue, muscle weakness, brain fog or frequent infections
- Have complex medical histories that have not yet been fully explained
- Prefer a thorough genetic evaluation, without the stress of a hospital procedure
