Abstract

Perturbations of mitochondrial function, which may be caused by mutations in both nuclear and mitochondrial DNA, cause many human diseases. We describe the most frequent mitochondrial diseases, especially those caused by mutations in the nuclear genome, attempts to treat these diseases and possible ways of preventing the transmission of diseases caused by mutations in mitochondrial DNA to successive generations.
