The first mitochondrial DNA mutations associated with disease were described in 1988. These discoveries were a game changer in the field of mitochondrial diseases.  Holt IJ, Harding A E, Morgan-Hughes JA (1988) Deletions of muscle mitochondrial DNA in patients with mitochondrial myopathies. »Bioblast link« Wallace DC, Singh G, Lott MT, Hodge JA, Schurr TG, Lezza AM, Elsas LJ 2nd, Nikoskelainen EK (1988) Mitochondrial DNA mutation associated with Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy. »Bioblast link« Zeviani M, Moraes CT, DiMauro S, Nakase H, Bonilla E, Schon EA, Rowland LP (1988) Deletions of mitochondrial DNA in Kearns-Sayre syndrome. »Bioblast link«

Research in the field of mitochondrial medicine offers hope that treatments and cures for mitochondrial diseases will be found. 2nd Workshop on Mitochondrial Functional Diagnostics Innsbruck AT - as part of the joint project between Oroboros and VASCage - October 16, 2023 - Join in person: inform us until Oct 1 by email to [email protected], limited spaces available - Location: MiPArt, Schoepfstrasse 18, 6020 Innsbruck, AT
