Study of immune problems in mitochondrial disease
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a confirmed genetic diagnosis of a primary mitochondrial disease.
- You must weigh more than 30 kilograms (about 66 pounds).
- You or your parent/guardian must be able to sign a consent form agreeing to participate.
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- If you are a healthy control, you must have no known mitochondrial disease and be matched in age and sex to a patient.

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 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 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.
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 collects blood and skin samples from people with primary mitochondrial disease and from healthy volunteers. The samples will help researchers better understand these diseases and develop 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.
