What Diseases are Associated with Mitochondrial Dysfunction?
Mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in a range of diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, metabolic diseases like diabetes, and cardiomyopathies. It also plays a role in aging and age-related conditions. Mitochondrial myopathies, a group of neuromuscular diseases, are directly linked to genetic mutations affecting mitochondrial function.
