Let’s talk NARP

Neurogenic weakness with Ataxia and Retinitis Pigmentosa, also known as NARP, is a rare type of mitochondrial disease, mito for short. It affects mitochondria, the parts of our cells that make energy, and it commonly impacts the brain, nervous system and muscles. NARP often begins in the first few months or years of life, but it can also start in the teenage years or adulthood.In this episode, we unpack what NARP can look like day to day. We explain symptoms such as muscle weakness and low muscle tone, balance and coordination changes, sensory nerve symptoms like numbness or burning pain, and vision changes that may worsen over time, including night or side-vision loss. We also explore why experiences can differ from person to person, even with the same genetic change, and point you towards support and planning resources linked in the episode description.The information in this episode is based on Mito Foundation resources, including the <a href="https://www.mito.org.au/types-of-mito/narp" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">NARP information page</a>.
