NCT ID NCT01803906

First seen Jan 08, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 13 times

Summary

This study aims to find the genetic causes of mitochondrial disorders by analyzing tissue samples from up to 6900 people who either have or are related to someone with a suspected mitochondrial disease. Researchers will look for new mutations in DNA that may explain these conditions. The study does not offer any treatment, but hopes to improve understanding and future diagnosis.
