Reader Reviews
Written specifically for those interested in the most common genetics abberations found with mitrochondrial dysfunction and disease. Not all genetic abberations are listed but then again, new ones are discovered from time to time and their effect in disease is not always well understood or varified by multiple studies. Genetics is important to understand in relation to mitrochondrial disorders especially in those who may pass the gene to their children. Unless understood by previous knowledge, this text may come across as complicated in some chapters. A technical text, best understood by those of the medical profession, geneticists and students of same. As a teaching text, a great deal of information necessary in understanding the genetics of mitrochondrial dysfunction is made available. For those who seek a well-rounded and well-written overview, somewhat technical but not difficult to understand is the book Mitochondrial Medicine Edited by DiMauro, Hirano and Schon which focus is on how disorders of the mitochondria affect various organs/systems and a chapter on current treatment techniques.
