Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial genetic diseases are complex disorders that impair cellular energy production, leading to diverse clinical manifestations across multiple organ systems. These diseases arise from mutations in either mitochondrial DNA or nuclear DNA. Among nuclear DNA-related cases, mutations in POLG and POLG2, which encode subunits of mitochondrial DNA polymerase γ, are particularly significant, causing conditions...
