What are the Clinical Implications of Cox Negative Fibers?
Clinically, the identification of COX negative fibers can aid in the diagnosis of mitochondrial diseases, helping to differentiate them from other neuromuscular disorders. The proportion of COX negative fibers can correlate with the severity of the disease, providing prognostic information. Furthermore, understanding the distribution and characteristics of these fibers can assist in tailoring therapeutic strategies and monitoring disease progression.
