Myopathies Books

One of the very few publications for this very rare condition. I found it useful but very technical and granular. I had to force myself through the more technical sections, but found enough useful to assist in helping a friend. I certainly encourage readers to obtain this reference book even though it is pricey and tough reading. It is one of the very few tittles on the subject. My health care contacts at Stanford Medical, and Queens Hospital in Hawaii found it useful. One thing there is not. There is no cure, and no recognized treatment prescribed. I look forward to that day.

While the individual articles in this recent book are interesting and some even contain new data, the book is not well organized. It would have benefited from inclusion of more clinical data and more clinical application, as well as from an overall view of the present state of mitochondrial research and potential treatment.
