OBSERVATIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The goal of this observational study is to develop and validate tools to measure disease course in patients with primary mitochondrial myopathy (PMM). The main aims of this study are: * Development, validation, and optimization of objective outcome measures for mitochondrial myopathy * Defining the natural history of mitochondrial myopathy Researchers will compare data from patients with primary mitochondrial myopathy to healthy controls. Data from healthy controls will also help define normative data for future studies. Participants will perform clinical exams of muscle strength and endurance and will complete surveys.
