Because the genetic selection processes for mitochondrial – nuclear interaction are influenced by survival and reproductive success, the changing environmental challenges from original prehistoric conditions to contemporary (along with increased lifespan) have significantly affected cell function. In this regard, his work explores the influence of “mito-Mendelian” genetics upon bioenergetics, inflammation, metabolism, and nuclear gene expression. For these studies, he invented and has developed the Mitochondrial – Nuclear eXchange (MNX) model that enables unambiguous testing of mitochondrial and nuclear genetic backgrounds upon cell function and disease development. From this research, it is becoming clear that “mito-Mendelian” genetics influences cell function and response to acute and chronic stimuli. Consequently, the genetic basis for disease is not based solely upon Mendelian nor Mitochondrial genetics, but is the consequence of “mito-Mendelian” genetics. This concept is paradigm challenging.

This database was initiated in the early 1960s by Dr. Victor A. McKusick as a catalog of Mendelian traits and disorders, entitled Mendelian Inheritance in Man (MIM). Twelve book editions of MIM were published between 1966 and 1998. The online version, OMIM, was created in 1985 by a collaboration between the National Library of Medicine and the William H. Welch Medical Library at Johns Hopkins. It was made generally available on the internet starting in 1987. In 1995, OMIM was developed for the World Wide Web by NCBI, the National Center for Biotechnology Information.
