1.  New Mitochondrial Research Could Transform Medicine.

Professor Patrick Chinnery
Newcastle University, UK

The United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation (UMDF) today announced landmark research finding that one in every 200 people has a DNA mutation that could potentially cause a mitochondrial disease in them or their offspring. Mitochondrial disease is a devastating and often fatal disease, and mitochondrial disorders are at the core of many well known diseases and chronic illnesses, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and autism spectrum disorders. This research, which was partially funded by UMDF, was conducted by Patrick Chinnery, MBBS, PhD, MRCPath, FRCP, Wellcome Senior Fellow in Clinical Genetics and professor of neurogenetics at Newcastle University in the UK.

2.  Massive, Revolutionary Breaking News For Patients.


Both Mitochondrial 'Disease' and 'Dysfunction' are far more common than previously thought. This landmark research conducted by the United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation has significance for autism and other disorders that is 'earth shattering'. One Click Group Director Jane Bryant 'comments: "Countless numbers of patients labelled with the ME/CFS waste paper basket diagnosis have tested positive for severe Mitochondrial Dysfunction, including my son. This new research has profound implications for these patients and for so many others." One Click publishes the details of where to get tested.
