What is the life expectency of mitochondrial disease?

Life expectancy depends on many factors. Some Mit myopathies are severly progressive and some are mildly progressive. There are different variations in how mild or severe each persons myopathy is. Also depends on whether there are internal organs involved. Some myopathies affect mostly peripheral.... they affect mostly the extremities such as legs,arms,neck. If the myopathy is more internal it can affect organs such as heart or lungs for example...then the myopathy is more severe. Some live a full a life with the progressive disease. Some don't. It is a progessive disease, and as such it will further weaken and atrophy muscle as time goes on. If the Mit myopathy is progressively mild, then there is no reason why the person can't live into 65 or 70 years old. They most likely won't live to be 80 or more, but it's hard to say. It's really up to the severity of the disease and the person that has it. And yes, I'm a doctor with a strong experience in Mitochondrial and Congenital myopathies.
