Abstract
The aim of the MITOMICS project is to establish a clinical database of patients diagnosed with mitochondrial diseases, combined with a « multiomics » integrated approach in order to gain a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying these diseases, and ultimately, to offer better patient care. The MITOMICS project thus contributes to the consolidation of a French "mitochondrial medicine", a notion that deserves to be examined. With the upcoming launch of the fourth national plan for rare diseases, it is an example of the study and management of rare and ultrarare diseases in France. This article traces the emergence of mitochondrial medicine since the early 1960s. It presents its main characteristics (genocentrism, strong techno-dependence), as well as its major technical and theoretical limitations, with a view to developing personalized mitochondrial medicine for the years to come.
期刊介绍:
m/s offers high-quality review articles in French, covering all areas of biomedical and health research, in a monthly magazine format (10 issues / year). m/s is read by the whole French-speaking community, in France but also in Belgium, Switzerland, Canada, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia etc. m/s is not a primary publication, and thus will not consider unpublished data. Most articles are invited by the Editors, but spontaneous proposals are welcomed. Each issue combines news and views on the most recent scientific publications, as well as broadly accessible and updated review articles on a specific topic, and essays on science and society, history of science, public health, or reactions to published articles. Each year, m/s also publishes one or two thematic issues focused on a research topic of high interest. All review articles and essays are peer-reviewed.
