HelloWelcome here.Leigh's disease is an extremely rare condition.Usually, The prognosis for Leigh’s Disease is poor. However, those diagnosed with Leigh-like syndrome or who did not display symptoms until adolescence or early adulthood tend to live longer.But overall the prognosis is poor and there is no effective treatment yet.Thanks.
