What is Mito?
Imagine living life on a low battery
that can’t
be charged
Mitochondrial Disease or ‘Mito’ is a genetic disorder affecting the mitochondria – the ‘battery packs’ in our cells. When they fail to produce enough energy, damage occurs – especially to the major organs.
Mito is one of the most common genetic conditions, is progressive and can be life-limiting. Currently there is no treatment or cure.
