Guest guest Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Hello Cristina, Im so sorry to hear that your niece is affected with mitochondrial disease, complex 4 leighs. I know it very difficult to watch your sister and niece suffer. I am of 1st generation in America, my mother is from Naples and my father Abruzzia, Italy. With exception of my youngest son and now me with adult onset of MELAS, complex one, form of mitochondrial disease, there are no other family members affected. My son 's neurologist explained this could have been in our family many generations ago, and now it is affecting us now. Unfortunely you will find other case of mitochondrial disease in Italy, in time. This is a wonderful place for information and support, so please let us know how your niece and sister and your family are doing and if you have any questions. also you can try www.mdausa.org and www.umdf.org for more information. Does anyone in your family speak English. My Italian is not so good anymore, as my memory is affected. But if there is a family member that speaks English i would be more than willing to call you on the telephone. I will keep your family in our prayers. I know this is very devistating disease, be there for your niece and you sister will need your love and support and strenght. let us know how your family is doing or if you have any questions.
