Investigation of the Nature and Prevalence of Mitochondria Disease
The objective of this research protocol is to continue investigation of the nature and
prevalence of mitochondria disease and to aid patients and health care providers in the
understanding of these complex disorders.
This research study brings together many clinical sub-specialists to address the etiology of
these disorders and to develop more effective approaches for their diagnoses and more
reliable prognoses.

The non-invasive device named Diffuse Optical Spectroscopy developed at the Beckman Laser
Institute is to be used to measure various physiological parameters. Since mitochondria
produce most of the energy necessary for cellular function, their efficacy is most important
for systems with a high energy demand like the brain, heart, skeletal muscle, kidney, liver,
and endocrine tissues. As a result, mitochondria diseases usually manifest as complex,
multi-organ disorders, requiring multispecialty investigations.

Inclusion Criteria:
