How likely will my child have mitochondrial diseases if I do?

Mito which involve mtDNA are passed down from mothers to their children, while mito which involve nuclear DNA can be passed down from either parent.

Please speak to your healthcare provider regarding your specific condition and the likelihood of passing it down to your child, as well as the reproductive options available.
