AB It  is  a  progressive  multiorgan  disease.  The  mitochondrial  myopathies  are  a  rare  group  of  conditions  affecting  the  respiratory  chain  and  oxidative  phosphorylation.  A  total  of  five  proteins  complexes  make  up  the  mitochondrial  electron  transport  chain  (see  Complex  Diseases).  Clinically,  this  medical  condition  affects  every  organ  of  the  body  and  the  clinical  symptoms  include  poor  growth,  loss  of  muscle  coordination,  muscle  weakness,  visual  problems,  hearing  problems,  learning  disabilities,  heart  disease,  liver  disease,  kidney  disease,  gastrointestinal  disorders,  respiratory  disorders,  neurological  problems,  autonomic  dysfunction,  and  dementia.
