Mitochondrial Case Studies: Underlying Mechanisms and Diagnosis offers the science behind mitochondrial disease with a case studies approach. Since mitochondrial diseases are diverse and influenced by genetic, environmental, and social-economic factors, this publication will help students, physicians, scientists, health care students, and families recognize and accurately diagnose mitochondrial disease and learn about potential treatments.
- Reviews case studies as a helpful teaching tool to increase awareness and improve diagnosis
- Provides information on underlying mechanisms of mitochondrial disease
- Includes basic mitochondrial dysfunction research through patient case studies to best illustrate the entire disease process
geneticists, neurologists, residents, fellows, and physicians in internal medicine and pediatrics; researchers in genetics, cell biology, and neurology.
