What are mitochondrial disorders?

Mitochondrial disorders are a group of conditions caused by disrupted energy production in mitochondria – small structures within your cells.

There are many different forms and each can produce varying symptoms. These may include:

  • Poor growth, chronic fatigue
  • Gastrointestinal issues (diarrhea, constipation, vomiting)
  • Vision and hearing problems
  • Heart, liver or kidney disease
  • Muscle weakness
  • Seizures

People of all ages can be affected.

Why genetic testing is critical

Mitochondrial disorders can be caused by DNA changes in >300 different genes – including both mitochondrial and nuclear genes.

Genetic testing is essential to confirm a diagnosis and guide treatment. Early genetic testing may:

  • Inform prognosis
  • Identify targeted treatments or clinical trials
  • Guide family planning decisions

Genomic Unity® provides the most comprehensive testing

When it comes to genetic testing, technology matters.

Traditional testing often involves sequential tests that may miss crucial information. Genomic Unity® uses whole genome sequencing to detect DNA changes ranging in size from single base changes to large structural changes – in both mitochondrial and nuclear DNA – with a single test.

Our advanced technology ensures the most accurate and complete results available.
