Disease

Mitochondria are found in the every cell in the human body and it acts as the "power house" of the cell. The mitochondria is called the "power house" because it converts the food consumtion and oxygen to energy to power the body.

A mitochondrial disorder is caused by the mutation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). This disorder is genetic transmitted from a parent and can be seen from birth or at an older age. These disorders are chronic disorders. Some of this disorders can be seen in figure 1.
