Extra information provided by this PSP
Original uncertainty examples How does the genetic mutation lead to disease? ~ Where did 3243a^g originally come from? ~ Interested in the genetics of the condition, ~ 
Ongoing research into genetic causes of mitochondrial ocular disease with/out syndromic features ~ What are all the genetic causes of mitochondrial disease?  ~ The role that defective fatty acid synthesis plays as an underlying cause of mitochondrial disease ~ Progress with identifying the genetic basis is particularly important for severe paediatric onset diseases with no effective treatment as it allows prenatal diagnosis (or PGD) to be offered.
