Test ID: MITON    
Mitochondrial Nuclear Gene Panel by Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS)

Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful

Diagnosis of the subset of mitochondrial disease that results from mutations in the nuclear-encoded genes

 

A second-tier test for patients in whom previous targeted gene mutation analyses for specific mitochondrial disease-related genes were negative

 

Identifying mutations within genes of the nuclear genome that are known to be associated with mitochondrial disease, allowing for predictive testing of at-risk family members

Genetics Test Information Provides information that may help with selection of the correct genetic test or proper submission of the test request

This test includes next-generation sequencing and Sanger sequencing to evaluate for the genes listed on the panel. See Targeted Genes Interrogated by Mitochondrial Nuclear Gene Panel in Special Instructions for details regarding the targeted gene regions identified by this test.

Reflex Tests Lists tests that may or may not be performed, at an additional charge, depending on the result and interpretation of the initial tests.

Testing Algorithm Delineates situations when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.

If skin biopsy is received, fibroblast culture will be added and charged separately.
