Description

This panel includes Nuclear Mitochondrial genes and mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) analysis.This genetic test includes a comprehensive panel that analyzes both nuclear mitochondrial genes and the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA). The nuclear mitochondrial genes are located in the nuclear DNA and are crucial for mitochondrial function, as they encode proteins involved in mitochondrial processes. In contrast, the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) is a small circular DNA found within the mitochondria, inherited maternally, and contains genes critical for energy production.The test examines mutations and variants in both the nuclear mitochondrial genes and mtDNA, which can provide insights into disorders affecting mitochondrial function. These conditions often impact energy metabolism, leading to a range of symptoms such as muscle weakness, neurological issues, and metabolic problems. This dual analysis enhances the detection of mitochondrial diseases by capturing mutations from both nuclear and mitochondrial origins.
