scientific papers

This page is dedicated to sharing scientific research about Leigh syndrome and mitochondrial disease, as well as papers about data, data sharing, data standards, and papers on patient perspectives and experience.  

​

This page is not meant to be a complete list of every published paper on mitochondrial disease - for that, you can check out PubMed, a database maintained by the United States National Library of Medicine (NLM) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

 

The papers listed here are those describing research we would like to highlight. If you know of a study or a paper that you think should be included here, please let us know. Your suggestions can help make our resource better and more useful for everyone interested in learning about mitochondrial diseases.
