MITO (Mitochondrial Disorders Society)

MITO (Mitochondrial Disorders Society) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting individuals affected by mitochondrial diseases—rare genetic conditions that impair the function of mitochondria, the energy-producing structures in cells. These disorders can cause a wide range of symptoms, affecting muscles, the brain, and other organs. MITO promotes research, raises awareness, and provides resources and community connections for patients, families, and healthcare professionals. Its goal is to improve understanding, treatment, and quality of life for those living with mitochondrial disorders.
