Chairperson: Thomas Klopstock, Munich, Germany Mitochondrial disorders are a particularly complex and heterogeneous group of disorders. Mutations in mitochondrial DNA or in nuclear mitochondrial genes lead to a plethora of multisystemic disorders that may literally manifest with any symptom, in any organ, and at any age. Apart from these classical inherited mitochondrial diseases, age-associated neurodegeneration as in Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease as well as aging itself have been associated with mitochondrial dysfunction. This course will procure basic knowledge and new developments in mitochondrial medicine, from childhood disorders to aging, from pathomechanisms to therapy. |
