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.
Mitochondrial defects have also been linked to Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, diabetes, autism, and the aging process. Since 1996, the UMDF has funded over $1,000,000 in research toward a cure and has helped thousands of families through the family support network. UMDF supports scientific collaboration and family networking through international symposia and is building an endowment to sustain research through the millennium.
