RÉSUMÉ

Mitochondrial disorders encompass any medical specialty and affect patients at any age. Likewise, the spectrum of clinical and genetic signatures of these disorders is ample, making a precise diagnosis difficult. We will report some of the major clinical phenotypes observed in infancy, their underlining molecular features, and will propose an approach to reach a more complete diagnosis.
