Osmosis video - Mitochondrial myopathy

Mitochondrial myopathies refers to a group of neuromuscular disorders caused by damage to the mitochondria, which are the energy-producing organelles in cells. This damage can disrupt the normal function of muscles and organs. Symptoms may include body weakness, exercise intolerance, loss of muscle mass, and problems with breathing, seizures, ophthalmoplegia (paralysis of eye muscles), and hypotonia (abnormally reduced muscle tone).
