Impaired Bone Mineralization in Mitochondrial Disorders
Journal Title: International Invention of Scientific Journal - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 7
Abstract
In a recent article, Gandhi et al. reported about a retrospective study of a cohort of 80 pediatric and adult patients with genetically confirmed mitochondrial disorder (MID) of whom 73% presented with at least one causeof poor bone health [1]. We have the following comments and concerns.We do not agree with the statement that understanding about bone health predominantly derives from children [1]. There are a number of reports about osteoporosis, osteopenia, endocrine impairment, and renal disease resulting in poor bone health in adult patients with MID [2varanasi99].
