UCL London Mitochondrial Centre:
Primary mitochondrial diseases are genetic disorders that cause dysfunction of mitochondria, the ‘batteries’ that provide energy to cells. They can affect people at any stage in life, from infancy to old age, and cause a wide range of symptoms. The London Mitochondrial Centre encompasses the London NHS Highly Specialised Service for Rare Mitochondrial Disorders and the translational research activity undertaken by this service.
