Please answer! what population does mitochondrial myopathy affect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mitochondrial myo-: pathies are a group of inheritable neuromuscular disorders. Find out the type & which organs it affects, then obtain information & support from mda.org. Mitochondria are cellular "power plants" that convert fuel from food into energy molecules, particularly important in nerve & muscle cells. http://mda.org/disease/mitochondrial-myopathies/causes-inheritance explains the patterns of inheritance.
