Guest guest Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 You might want to give the UMDF a quick call and see what they might have as a number. If they have a number, then you could give that and also say that if you include Parkinson's, Alzheimers, it would be in the millions you would think. Good luck and let us know how it went!

How many people have mitochondrial diseases? I know with it now having links to Parkinson's, Alzheimers,etc the number is huge. Should I just say millions??

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Here's what I found (under " rare diseases " and mitochondrial disease: More than 40 known types Mitochondrial disease is a difficult disorder to identify because it can take many forms, and range from mild to severe. The problems it causes may begin at birth or not occur until later in adult life. It is estimated that mitochondrial disease affects between 40,000 and 70,000 Americans, occurring in one in 2,500 to 4,000 births.
