Hi Dawn, There is a technical name for theses birth marks--I think

hemangiomas or something like that. I'm not really sure whether they are

indicative of mito or not. I think it is more likely that they are

" imperfections " associated with many different genetic conditions. Barshop

said they were " very common. " But, I gathered somehow that he meant

generally, not specifically for mito. Another one of those nebulous areas I

guess.

Take care, Lori
