Abstract
Mitochondrial myopathies are caused by genetic mutations that directly influence the functioning of the electron transport chain (ETC). It is estimated that 1 of 8000 people have pathology inducing mutations affecting mitochondrial function. Diagnosis often requires a multifaceted approach wKeywords
