AFMDA.org: Empowering and Supporting Families Affected by Mitochondrial Disease
What is Mitochondrial Disease?
Mitochondrial diseases are a group of disorders that affect the mitochondria, the “powerhouses” of our cells. Mitochondria are responsible for converting food into energy that our bodies need to function. When mitochondria are not working properly, it can lead to a wide range of symptoms, including:
- Muscle weakness and fatigue
- Gastrointestinal problems
- Developmental delays
- Neurological disorders
- Heart problems
- Vision and hearing loss
- Endocrine disorders
Mitochondrial diseases are rare but can be devastating. There is no cure for mitochondrial disease, but there are treatments that can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
