Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We evaluated that serum FGF21 was a useful biomarker for mitochondrial disorders in Japanese population. At the same time, FGF21 was correlated with severity for mitochondrial disorders. Severity score was used for JMDRS and NMDAS. Moreover, we evaluated that serum GDF15 was a most useful biomarker for mitochondrial disorders compared conventional biomarkers including FGF21. Severity was 97.9% and Specificity was 95.2% (Yasuga S, et al. 2015).
