Mitochondrial hepatopathies are a subset of mitochondrial diseases defined by primary dysfunction of hepatocyte mitochondria leading to a phenotype of hepatocyte cell injury, steatosis, or liver failure. Increasingly, the diagnosis is established by new sequencing approaches that combine analysis of both nuclear DNA and mitochondrial DNA and allow for timely diagnosis in most patients. Despite advances in diagnostics, for most affected children their disorders are relentlessly progressive, and result in substantial morbidity and mortality. Treatment remains mainly supportive; however, novel therapeutics and a more definitive role for liver transplantation hold promise for affected children.
