Prolonged Gastrointestinal Transit Times and Dysmotility in m.3243A>G Mitochondrial Disease

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
Carriers of m.3243A>G mitochondrial disease have impaired mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production. Our findings indicate that patients exhibit gastrointestinal dysmotility as assessed by the wireless motility capsule SmartPill. This indicates a critical role of mitochondrial ATP in normal gastrointestinal function.
