摘要
The association of mitochondrial dysfunction with a variety of human diseases and disabilities has been documented. Mitochondrial gene therapy (MGT) seeks to correct the genetic defect in mitochondria! DNA. For successful MGT, an appreciation of the nature of the dysfunction and of the complexities of mitochondrial disease is necessary. This review summarizes the current status of various MGT protocols described in the literature. Although there are many technical difficulties to be overcome, there are indications that some of them will find clinical applications in the near future.
