Participants must be able to speak and read English. The reason for this is for safety reasons especially as it relates to the muscle biopsy procedures. Participants will be required to provide medication history and to understand and report any problems post muscle biopsy to the research medical staff. In addition, the medical staff will be contacting the participant after the biopsies to ensure that they are recovering and do not have significant side effects for which the participant must be able to clearly verbalize for the medical staff to determine if additional observation or treatment is indicated.
