Why does it matter?
Mitochondrial disorders can occur at any age and in most cases affect both sexes equally.
Knowing the functional capacity of the mitochondria is vital to managing overall health. An effective assessment of the impairment can help initiate treatment in time.

- growth retardation;
- learning problems;
- physical activity intolerance;
- muscle weakness;
- loss of muscle coordination;
- neurological symptoms;
- gastrointestinal symptoms;
- heart failure;

What happens when mitochondria don't function properly?
