World Mitochondrial Disease Week is September 15-21, 2025.
Mitochondrial diseases (mito) affect about 1 in 5000 people, making them the second most commonly diagnosed serious genetic disease after cystic fibrosis. Mito dysfunction is also linked to Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, diabetes, heart disease, and some cancers.
This year’s theme—“Decode the Mito Puzzle – Bridging Science and Symptoms”—goes hand in hand with our rare philosophy, highlighting the need to connect scientific discoveries with the lived experiences of patients to improve diagnosis, care, and outcomes.
At rareLife, we support people affected by mito—and all rare diseases—by leveraging our expertise to support treatment development, educate stakeholders, and advance better outcomes.
