We've long believed that mitochondrial DNA is only passed down by mothers. A team of researchers from the US, China, and Taiwan has identified several families where that isn't true. Share on Facebook ...

Using sequencing techniques, researchers associated 51 mutations in mitochondrial DNA with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), an incurable degenerative neurological disorder that leads to muscle ...

In Mendelian inheritance patterns, you receive one version of a gene, called an allele, from each parent. These alleles can be dominant or recessive. Non-Mendelian genetics don’t completely follow ...

Mitochondrial diseases are presently untreatable. A review of controlled clinical trials from 1997-2012 counts only 16 treatments—15 of them drugs, and the other exercise. [6] Most drugs target the ...
