This fund is designed to help mito patient and families obtaining or seeking care at CHOP. These funds can help supplement travel related costs, uncovered medical expenses, or other financial hardships given the underlying diagnosis. Our families can apply once a year to this fund for support. To find out more information or if your needs qualify you can reach out to our social worker Addie Fishstein fishsteina@chop.edu.

This tool provides information to help families and practitioners learn more about mitochondrial disease.

MitoAction’s mission is to improve the quality of life for children, adults, and families living with mitochondrial disease through support, education, outreach, advocacy and clinical research initiatives.

Dr. Marni Falk explains how healthy mitochondria work. She discusses how mutations in the mitochondrial and nuclear genomes can affect human health.

The "privacy assured" registry helps collect information that will assist in diagnosing and treating mitochondrial disease.

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.

Founded in 1998 by doctors Richard Haas and Robert Naviaux, the MMS represents an international group of physicians, researchers and clinicians working towards advancing education, research and global collaboration in clinical mitochondrial medicine.

mitoSHARE is a worldwide patient-populated registry initiative stewarded by UMDF. The goal of the registry is to advance scientific research using data gathered from patients and families affected by mitochondrial disease.

The Mitochondrial Medicine team at CHOP provides this global resource to facilitate genomic and phenotype knowledge and data sharing and analysis across the global mitochondrial disease community.
