In 1962, the first report of a patient with a mitochondrial disease was published.
- Luft R, Ikkos D, Palmieri G, Ernster L, Afzelius B (1962). A case of severe hypermetabolism of nonthyroid origin with a defect in the maintenance of mitochondrial respiratory control: a correlated clinical, biochemical, and morphological study. »Bioblast link«
The first mitochondrial DNA mutations associated with disease were described in 1988.
These discoveries were a game changer in the field of mitochondrial diseases.
