Mitochondrial disorders are inherited chronic disorders characterized by a wide range of biochemical and genetic mitochondrial defects and mutations. The disorder affects multiple organs, which includes brain, heart, liver, skeletal muscles, kidney, and respiratory systems. The patients with mitochondrial disorders often suffer from muscle weakness, exercise intolerance, and fatigue due to reduction in mitochondrial respiration, which is caused due to mitochondrial DNA mutations leading to reduced ability to produce cellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
