Mitochondrial diseases are a genetically and phenotypically diverse collection of diseases due to defects in over 400 genes with roles converging on aerobic energy metabolism. Their heterogeneity leads to significant challenges in making an accurate diagnosis. This thesis analyses the diagnostic power of whole exome sequencing, validates variants in known and novel disease genes, and applies an integrative multi-omic approach encompassing genetic, phenotypic, RNA sequencing, and quantitative proteomic data, to discover and simultaneously validate diagnoses in patients.
