Massive DNA hunt for mitochondrial disease genes
NCT ID NCT01803906
First seen Jan 08, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 15 times
Summary
This study aims to find the genetic causes of mitochondrial disorders—diseases that affect how cells produce energy. Researchers will analyze tissue samples from up to 6900 people who have or are suspected of having a mitochondrial disorder, such as MELAS or Leigh disease. The goal is to discover new genetic mutations that lead to these conditions, which could improve diagnosis and future treatments.
