Individuals with a genetic mitochondrial disorder conferring increased diabetes risk have decreased whole body insulin sensitivity that may be mediated by decreased skeletal muscle OXPHOS capacity. Studies in rare disorders may provide insights into the role of skeletal muscle metabolism in the pathogenesis of Type 2 diabetes.
