Could you point at a high quality reputable paper saying "as low as 1:1,000"? Did you mean 1 in 1000 people with disease have a mitochondrial cause, or 1 in 1000 people have a mitochondrially caused disease?

I meant "1 in 1000 people with disease have a mitochondrial cause".

There are many diferrent figures as "mitochondrial disease" is a broad term, but check these out: http://ije.oxfordjournals.org/content/41/1/177.long http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18674747?dopt=Abstract
