Test ID NMITO Nuclear Mitochondrial Gene Panel, Next-Generation Sequencing, Varies


Ordering Guidance


The diagnostic workup for a mitochondrial disorder may include testing to demonstrate elevations of the lactate-to-pyruvate ratio and an elevated growth differentiation factor 15 concentration. Consider LAPYP / Lactate Pyruvate Panel, Plasma and GDF15 / Growth Differentiation Factor 15, Plasma.

 

Customization of this panel and single gene analysis for any gene present on this panel are available. For more information see CGPH / Custom Gene Panel, Hereditary, Next-Generation Sequencing, Varies.

 

Targeted testing for familial variants (also called site-specific or known variants testing) is available for the genes on this panel. See FMTT / Familial Variant, Targeted Testing, Varies. To obtain more information about this testing option, call 800-533-1710.



Shipping Instructions


Specimen preferred to arrive within 96 hours of collection.



Specimen Required


Patient Preparation: A previous bone marrow transplant from an allogenic donor will interfere with whole blood or dried blood spot testing. For instructions for testing patients who have received a bone marrow transplant, call 800-533-1710.

Useful For

Diagnosing the subset of mitochondrial disease that results from variants in the nuclear-encoded genes

 

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

 

Identifying variants 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
