The Impact of Mitochondrial Dysfunction on Human Bone Cell Metabolism and Remodelling
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Clinical assessment, blood samples, bone marrow and bone biopsy for Mitochondrial Diseases and Bone Remodeling Disorder. Active but no longer recruiting, targeting 30 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Cell and mice studies suggest mitochondrial dysfunction may cause altered bone structure. Hypothesis: Decreased mitochondrial energy production affects bone cell development and activity negatively. Comparing humans with the mitochondrial DNA variant, m.3243A\>G, pathogenic variants in POLG or TWNK genes to healthy controls, the aim is to evaluate the effect of mitochondrial dysfunction on: 1: bone-cell development and -activity in bone marrow stem cells and blood. 2: bone cell metabolism including glucose consumption. 3: bone structure assessed by electron microscopy and μCT scans of bone biopsies.
