Clinical and Genetic Spectrum of Patients With Mitochondrial Disease in a Pediatric Egyptian Cohort: Novel Variants and Phenotypic Expansion.

Mitochondrial disorders exhibit clinical and genetic diversity. Nearly 400 distinct genes, located in both the mitochondrial and nuclear genomes, harbor pathogenic variants that can produce a broad spectrum of mitochondrial diseases. This work aims to explore the genetic etiology of a cohort of Egyptian pediatric patients who were clinically suspected of having a mitochondrial disorder.
