Does anyone know about Adult Mitochondrial Dysfunction (Disease / Depletion). I would be interested in information and ideas. Thanks.

Hi Beezle47 and welcome to this caring forum.

Mitochondrial DNAdepletionsyndrome [MDS or MDDS] is any group of autosomal recessive disorders that cause a significant drop in Mitochondrial DNA in different tissues.

Mitochondrial disease in adults is a complicated disorder to diagnose. The symptoms can fluctuate day to day as can various test results. This complicates the picture. The situation is made easier if other family members have already been diagnosed with this condition.

Thank you and best wishes
