About This Trial
Primary Mitochondrial Disease (PMD) is a genetic neurometabolic disorder, leading to central nervous system degeneration and increased risk of early mortality. There is a strong link between the pathophysiology of mitochondrial disease and biomarkers related to the biochemistry of redox imbalance, involving the levels of glutathione. Investigators will use Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Spectrosco…
