Genomic Testing
Mitochondrial Genome
The Mitochondrial Genome test is designed to examine all 37 mtDNA genes and utilizes overlapping primer sets to cover all 16,569 nucleotides.
This analysis is performed by PCR amplification of mitochondrial DNA, followed by next-generation sequencing (NGS). This assay has been validated for the detection of mitochondrial DNA heteroplasmy at a minimum level of 2‑5%.

Mitochondrial Comprehensive Package
The Mitochondrial Genome panel is also included within the Mito Comprehensive package. This package pairs Mitochondrial Genome testing with our standard Nuclear-Mito NGS Panel, offering comprehensive sequencing analysis of both nuclear-encoded mitochondrial genes and the mitochondrial genome itself.
