National Mitochondrial Disease Foundation

The National Mitochondrial Disease Foundation (NMDF) is an organization dedicated to advancing research, education, and support for people affected by mitochondrial diseases. These rare disorders occur when the mitochondria, the energy-producing parts of cells, don’t function properly, leading to a wide range of health problems. The NMDF provides resources for patients and families, promotes scientific studies to understand these conditions better, and advocates for improved diagnosis and treatment options. Its goal is to improve the quality of life for individuals with mitochondrial diseases through awareness, research, and community support.
