Mitochondrial Genetics and Disease
Journal of Child Neurology, 2014Mitochondrial disease resulting in reduced bioenergetic output can be due to mutations in either nuclear DNA–encoded or mitochondrial DNA–encoded gene products. We summarize some of the underlying principles of mitochondrial genetics that impact the diagnosis and pathogenesis of mitochondrial disorders.

Despite our tendency to overeat, excessive fat accumulation was prevented in the past, as any excess weight soon impaired the physical fitness required to gather food, and to either fight or escape predators or foes. However, for the first time in human history, a large fraction of the population in affluent countries can now concomitantly indulge in ...

Mitochondrial diseases: genetics
BioFactors, 1998According to the now widely-accepted endosymbiont hypothesis, mitochondria are the descendents of a bacterium that was “captured” early in evolution by a proto-eukaryote. Accordingly, this organelle is about the size of a bacterium (i.e., between 1–10 microns), and has many bacteria-like features.

Mitochondrial Diseases and Cardiomyopathies
Canadian Journal of Cardiology, 2015Mitochondrial cardiomyopathies are clinically and genetically heterogeneous. An integrative approach encompassing clinical, biochemical, and molecular investigations is required to reach a specific diagnosis. In this review we summarize the clinical and genetic aspects of mitochondrial disorders associated with cardiomyopathy, including disorders of ...

Models of mitochondrial disease
2002Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the molecular mechanisms of disease pathogenesis and describes cell and animal models of respiratory-chain disease. The models that have been developed can be used to address a number of different issues: to demonstrate whether the cause of a given respiratory-chain disease is because of a nuclear or a ...

In this review the author describes the current knowledge about mitochondrial diseases (mitochondrial myopathies, mitochondrial encephalomyopathies and mitochondrial cardiomyopathies) in both clinical and experimental medicine. This description concerns historical development of mitochondrial diseases, biochemical alterations and genetic disturbances ...

Mitochondrial Dynamics in Disease
New England Journal of Medicine, 2007Mitochondria are subcellular organelles that coordinate numerous metabolic reactions, including those of the respiratory complexes that produce the ATP that powers cellular reactions. They have often been depicted as static, with a kidney-bean shape, but there is a growing appreciation of their dynamic nature.
