Original uncertainty examples A way to monitor progression. ~ Maybe research could Show what the best blood tests would be needed to spot progression or health changes.  ~ Progression : identification of bio markers of progressive disease  ~ Are there biomarkers (e.g. on retinal imaging) for progression of mitochondrial retinopathy? ~ Pathognomic features or biomerkers for early detection of the disease. ~ Research on diagnostic markers ~ Biomarkers.  ~ studies designed to identify prognostic biomarkers and trial endpoints
