Mitochondria are the most important little engines in our body that are controllers of energy metabolism, aptly termed as powerhouses of each body cell.<\/p>\n
Problems encountered in the way the mitochondria function can cause problems in the body. Individuals who have mitochondrial disorders are not widespread across human population.\u00a0 It is observed in a much smaller subset of the population, unlike Autism. Hence, mitochondrial dysfunction cannot be termed a co-morbidity.<\/strong> The correlation between mitochondrial dysfunction and Autism came from the assessment of one case where the child had both mitochondrial dysfunction and Autism. This one instance cannot be extrapolated as a cause for Autism. Unless research shows a clear genetic link where a gene defect associated with mitochondrial dysfunction is also linked to the onset of Autism, it cannot be correlated. Hence, mitochondrial dysfunction isn\u2019t a cause for Autism from what is scientifically known today.<\/strong><\/p>\n DISCLAIMER: Please note that this guide is for information purposes only.
