"Written by the world’s foremost mitochondrial researchers, the book comprehensively presents the state-of-the-art in mitochondrial medicine, making it of interest to a wide variety of specialists, including neurologists, geneticists, internists and biologists."
This tool provides information to help families and practitioners learn more about mitochondrial disease.
Dr. Marni Falk explains how healthy mitochondria work. She discusses how mutations in the mitochondrial and nuclear genomes can affect human health.
Dr. Marni Falk and a team of international experts have created a resource to provide an all-in-one, readily accessible, and easy-to-use at point of care reference on mitochondrial disease from a gene-based perspective. In this book, clinicians and researchers will find a complete overview of mitochondrial disease genes relevant across all specialties, cataloging and building context around clinical features and the genetic basis of each condition.
This resource from the Roberts Individualized Genetics Center explains how people with mitochondrial disease carry a mutation in a gene that affects the way their mitochondria work.
Watch a video where Marni Falk, MD, explains the requirements in precision mitochondrial medicine for addressing health system challenges in big data integration and mining, pre-clinical therapeutic modeling, innovative clinical trial design and team-based clinical care delivery.
