Mitochondrial myopathy is a collective term for a group of diseases that particularly affect muscle, but which may also affect every other part of the body including the brain and the eye. Other names for these diseases include: Kearns-Sayre Syndrome (KSS), Chronic Progressive External Ophthalmoplegia (CPEO), Mitochondrial Encephalopathy, Lactic Acidosis, and Stroke-like Episodes (MELAS), Myoclonus Epilepsy Associated With Ragged-Red Fibres (MERRF), Leigh's disease, and Mitochondrial Cytopathy. Why do I have it? Our bodies are made up of many different tissues, for example muscle, nerve, and liver. Each tissue is composed of small 'building blocks', called cells, and within each cell are small objects known as mitochondria. The job of these mitochondria is to produce energy. Just like a power generator, they take in fuel (the food we eat) and burn it up to generate energy. If this process fails, the cell cannot function adequately and this can lead to disease. Muscle and brain require a lot of energy, and are often the most severely affected.
