Inclusion Criteria

•Diagnosis of PS/KSS syndromes with confirmed genetic mutations associated PS/KSS syndromes. Diagnosis will be performed on review of muscle/skin biopsies, presence of mtDNa deletion on mtDNA samples from peripheral blood lymphocytes, urinary tract cells in urine, or muscle (Southern blot, Long PCR, MLPA), quantification of mtDNA deletions by Quantitative PCR. If genetic confirmation and quantification of mtDNA deletion is not available, it will performed at screening
•Newcastle Pediatric Mitochondrial Disease Scale score of =15 and = 60 on sections 1-3
•Evidence of disease progression within 12 months preceeding the screening either by NPMDS score or documented evidence of neurologic deterioration
•Availability of pre-enrollment brain MRI that confirms the characteristic basal ganglia damage or leukoencephalopathy of PS/KSS syndromes performed within 6 months prior to screening (if brain MRI/MRS is not available, it will performed at screening)
•Male or female age 1 to 25 years
•Patient or patient’s guardian able to consent and comply with protocol requirements
