Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Criteria for subjects with mitochondrial disease, metabolic myopathy or muscle dystrophy:

Inclusion Criteria:

- Verified mitochondrial disease, metabolic myopathy or muscular dystrophy.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Other muscle disorders.

- Heart failure or significantly reduced kidney or lung function.

- Contraindications for exercise test, e.g. serious heart and lung disease. The
investigator will decide whether or not it is possible for the subject to participate
(Only for the subjects doing an exercise test.).

Criteria for healthy individuals:

Inclusion Criteria:

None (except age > 15 years).

Exclusion Criteria:

Intervention(s)
Primary Outcome(s)
GDF-15 concentration in plasma sample at rest. [Time Frame: One blood sample per subject will be analysed. It takes 5 minutes.]
Secondary Outcome(s)
GDF-15 concentration in plasma after exercise [Time Frame: The exercise test takes half an hour. Blood samples will be taken 1, 2, 3, 24 and 48 hours after the exercise test.]
Maximal workload capacity (Wmax) [Time Frame: The test takes half an hour per subject.]
Maximal oxidative capacity (VO2max) [Time Frame: The test takes half an hour per subject.]
Other biomarkers of energy metabolism disorders at rest and after exercise test. [Time Frame: If the blood samples are only taken at rest, the test takes 5 minutes. If an exercise test is done, it takes 48 hours.]
