Mitochondrial myopathies are diseases resulting from gene mutations associated with mitochondrial proteins. Before you continue your research on these types of diseases (using the link provided below), take a few minutes to apply new knowledge about cellular respiration to think about what symptoms you would expect from these diseases.

Then compare your symptom lists to the symptoms provided by the NIH here: https://www.ninds.nih.gov/Disorders/Patient-Caregiver-Education/Fact-Sheets/Mitochondrial-Myopathy-Fact-Sheet

Post now about this experience: What symptoms were you able to predict? Did anyone surprise you? Were there any you couldn't believe you hadn't been on your list? Any other thoughts on these symptoms, breathing, mitochondria in general and/or mitochondrial myopathies?
