Summary

Background

The purpose of this study is to learn more about the use of the supplement carnitine in patients with mitochondrial and metabolic disorders. Individuals with mitochondrial disease or any other metabolic disorder who are taking carnitine or who have been on carnitine within the last 12 months may take part in the study.

This study is no longer recruiting patients.
