Description
The United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation is redefining hope for families affected by mitochondrial diseases--hereditary disorders, now considered as common as childhood cancers, that affect the cell's ability to produce life-sustaining energy. UMDF offers support to all sufferers of mitochondrial disorders regardless of diagnosis, suspected or confirmed. Our mission is to promote research and education for the diagnosis, treatment and cure of mitochondrial disorders and to provide support to affected individuals and families.
