Mitochondrial Disease

Data Standards

Organized by domains and subdomains often used in clinical studies, data standards include:

  • CDEs — Classified as Core, Supplemental–Highly Recommended, Supplemental, or Exploratory
  • CRF Modules — Template forms that logically organize CDEs for data collection
  • Guidance Documents — Provide further information about the CDEs
  • Instrument Notice of Copyright (NOC) Documents: Include pertinent information on recommended instruments (Instrument Notice of Copyright Information)

Overview

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) convened the Mitochondrial Disease v1.0 Common Data Elements (CDE) Working Group (WG) in 2014. The Mitochondrial Disease v1.0 CDE WG was divided into 9 domain-specific subgroups. The first set of CDEs for Mitochondrial Disease was completed in 2015.

The Mitochondrial Disease CDE Oversight Committee (OC) was created in 2018 to periodically review, direct the updating, and advance the development of Mitochondrial Disease CDEs.

In 2022, the Mitochondrial Diseases v2.0 CDE WG was convened to perform a comprehensive review and update of the Mitochondrial Disease v1.0 CDEs.

The WG used a common definition of primary mitochondrial diseases to help focus this review and standardize the recommendations: Mitochondrial Disease Definition.

The WG was divided into 11 domain-specific subgroups: Audiology Outcomes, Biomarkers, Cognitive/Psychological Outcomes, Endocrinology, Exercise Physiology, GI/Hepatology and Nutrition, General Medical/Neurological Assessments, Genetics, Imaging, Ophthalmology Outcomes, and Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO)/Quality of Life (QoL)/Fatigue.

The Internal Review and Public Review period for the draft Mitochondrial Disease v2.0 CDEs was October 18, 2023 – November 15, 2023. The final Mitochondrial Disease v2.0 CDE recommendations were posted in March 2024.
