The second way you can define inflation is the rate at which money loses its value. If you think about it, prices going up and the value of one dollar going down are really the same thing.
1 There is no reliable and consistent means of diagnosis. 2  Diagnosis can be made by one of the few physicians who specialize in mitochondrial disease. 3  Diagnosis can be made by blood DNA testing and/or muscle biopsy but neither of these tests is completely reliable.
The conventional teaching in biology and medicine is that mitochondria function only as energy factories for the cell. This over-simplification is a mistake which has slowed our progress toward understanding the biology underlying mitochondrial disease. It takes about 3000 genes to make a mitochondrion.henocopies of Mitochondrial Disease. The converse is also true: different mutations in mtDNA and nDNA can lead to the same diseases. In genetics, these are known as phenocopies. A good example is Leigh syndrome, which can be caused by about a dozen different gene defects.
