Study tracks symptoms in primary mitochondrial muscle conditions
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study observes people with primary mitochondrial muscle diseases over time to better understand how symptoms change. It may help improve future care by learning patterns of muscle weakness, fatigue, and related complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have muscle-related symptoms such as fast tiring with exercise and ongoing fatigue
- You may also have muscle pain or repeated episodes of muscle breakdown (rhabdomyolysis)
- You may have problems with eye movement or droopy eyelids due to muscle weakness (chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia)
- You have a genetic diagnosis involving mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations or certain gene changes linked to mtDNA maintenance (like TK2, POLG, TWNK, or RRM2B)

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.
This study looks for the cause of suspected mitochondrial diseases by combining multiple lab tests on muscle and skin samples, plus genetic testing results. If your current gene tests didn’t find an answer, this could help researchers learn what might be causing your condition.
This study looks at how much “mitochondrial DNA” mutation is in your body and what that means for people with specific genetic changes in muscle. It may help researchers better understand the condition and how to track response over time.
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 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 tests whether personalized home exercise plus video check-ins are safe and helpful for people with mitochondrial myopathy. It aims to improve function and comfort while checking that the program is tolerable over time.
