Primary mitochondrial disease (MD) is a group of rare genetic diseases reported to have a prevalence of 1:5000 and is currently without a cure. This group of diseases includes mitochondrial encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS), maternally inherited diabetes and deafness (MIDD), Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON), Leigh syndrome (LS), Kearns-Sayre syndrome (KSS), and myoclonic epilepsy and ragged-red fiber disease (MERRF).
