Funded Activity Summary

Peripheral neuropathies are frequently associated with mitochondrial diseases in children and cause progressive weakness and gait abnormalities and could result in loss of ambulation. This study aims to characterise the clinical spectrum and range of electrophysiological and histopathological abnormalities in the peripheral nerves of children with mitochondrial neuropathies to provide a resource that enables early diagnosis and implementation of rehabilitative measures.
