Test ID: MITOT    
Combined Mitochondrial Analysis, Mitochondrial Full Genome and Nuclear Gene Panel, Varies

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

Diagnosis of mitochondrial disease that results from mutations in either nuclear-encoded genes or the mitochondrial genome

 

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

 

Identification of mutations 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 mutations in the nuclear genes listed on the panel and amplification of the entire mitochondrial genome by long-range polymerase chain reaction (LRPCR) followed by sequencing on the Illumina next-generation sequencing (NGS) platform to evaluate for mutations within the mitochondrial genome.

 

See Targeted Genes Interrogated by Mitochondrial Nuclear Gene Panel by Next Generation Sequencing 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.
