    The mitochodrial myopathies and encephalopathies described in this document are all inherited genetic defects in mitochondrial or nuclear DNA, and most if not all show up in infancy to early adulthood.

    There are some overlaps in symptoms with ME, but some significant differences too. I don't think anyone knows what ME is yet.

    After Paul Fishers video and paper I found this NIH site on Mitochondrial complex V deficiency interesting

    If I remember right haven't there been some studies showing thickening of the heart wall in ME?
