AB The  mitochondrial  myopathies  are  a  rare  group  of  conditions  affecting  the  respiratory  chain  and  oxidative  phosphorylation.  A  total  of  five  protein  complexes  make  up  the  mitochondrial  electron  transport  chain.  The  clinical  consequences  of  a  deficiency  in  their  normal  physiology  is  associated  with  numerous  syndromes  as  described  in  this  section  and  presented  in  this  book.  Because  of  the  complexity  of  this  group  of  diseases,  an  overview  is  presented  here,  followed  by  a  short  description  of  the  five  individual  deficiencies.  Table  C-2  lists  the  names  of  the  associated  medical  disorders  that  are  described  as  specific  syndromes  in  this  book.
