Tissue sample study for suspected mitochondrial disorders
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study collects tissue samples to help researchers learn more about mitochondrial disorders—conditions related to how the body makes energy. It may help by improving genetic understanding for families who suspect an inherited cause.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You (or your doctor) suspects you may have a mitochondrial disorder
- There is a possible inherited (genetic) cause, such as a known gene change in you or a family member
- You may carry a genetic mutation linked to mitochondrial disorders
- Or you are related to someone who has a genetic mutation linked to mitochondrial disorders
- You are not eligible if there is no suspicion of a mitochondrial disorder

This trial builds a large database and collection of lab results, and possibly tissue samples, from people with suspected or diagnosed mitochondrial conditions. It helps researchers learn more about these disorders and mitochondrial DNA changes, which may improve future diagnosis and treatments.
This study collects information about people who have a suspected or confirmed mitochondrial disease. It aims to better understand how the disease looks over time, which can help future treatments.
This study looks at how metabolism, infections, and the immune system work together in people with mitochondrial disease. It aims to learn more about the condition and may help guide future treatments.
This study looks at immune system problems in people with mitochondrial diseases. It involves a blood draw to understand how the immune system works in these patients.
This study looks at a new way to measure mitochondrial DNA in muscle fibers. It may help people who have a suspected mitochondrial disorder and a genetic change of uncertain significance.
This natural history study follows children and adults with suspected or confirmed mitochondrial myopathy to better understand symptoms and how the condition changes. It may also include healthy participants to compare test results and improve future treatments.
