Show Notes

NARP (Neuropathy, Ataxia, and Retinitis Pigmentosa) is a mitochondrialdisorder with a broad and variable clinical spectrum that can affect the nervous system, vision, movement, swallowing, cognition, and energy. This talk will explore the history and genetics of NARP, how genetic confirmation informs diagnosis and care, and how symptoms such as ataxia and energy impairment can manifest in ways that are often misunderstood. We will also discuss current approaches to symptom management, multidisciplinary care, and the evolving treatment landscape for individuals living with NARP.
