- Number of participants with Treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0 following MNV-BM-BLD during a follow up period of 12 months post treatment. [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Severity will graded according to CTCAE, Version 5.0
- IPMDS (International Pediatric Mitochondrial Disease Scale) [ Time Frame: 1 year ]To compare the change in International Pediatric Mitochondrial Disease Scale (IPMDS) score during a follow up period of 12 months post treatment. IPMDS total score ranges from 0 to 243. The score is expressed as the percentage of items which were feasible to perform. The lower the score is, the higher the child's function
- Weight [ Time Frame: 1 year ]To compare the changes (kilograms) to Baseline
- Quantification of levels of normal mtDNA in blood and urine [ Time Frame: 1 years ]To compare the changes to Baseline
- Metabolic crisis events occurrence compared to two years prior to the study. [ Time Frame: 3 Years ]To compare the changes during 3 years (2 years prior the study entry and 1 year follow up)
- Change in renal function [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Measurement of blood creatinine in a serum sample
- Change in Brain involvement [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Lactate peak as assessed by MRS
- Height [ Time Frame: 1 year ]To compare the changes (in meters) to Baseline
- Change in cardiac function [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Assessment of left ventricular ejection fraction via echocardiography
- Monitoring for liver disease [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Measurement of Aspartate Aminotransferase and Alanine aminotransferase level
- Hospitalization events [ Time Frame: 1 year ]To compare the changes from medical history to 1 year follow up
- Change in functional status [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Distance traveled during the 6MWT (meters)
- Change in hematological parameter [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Measurement of hemoglobin level
- Change in hematological parameter [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Measurement of absolute neutrophil count
- Change in hematological parameter [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Measurement of platelet count
- Control of blood glucose concentration [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Hemoglobin A1c% in whole blood
- ATP content. [ Time Frame: 1 year ]To compare the changes to Baseline
