WESMito

Mitochondria are known as the energy production factory of body cells. There are thousands of mitochondria in each cell of our body. Dysfunction of mitochondria due to mutation in the mitochondrial genome or some nuclear genes leads to the development of mitochondrial diseases, whose main symptoms are usually in body parts such as the brain, heart, muscles, liver, kidney, eyes and ears. appears. In the PioneerGenomics, in addition to the analysis of nuclear genes involved in mitochondrial diseases, which is done in the WES test, we offer mitochondrial genome sequencing and data analysis under the name WESMito test. Fortunately, this test has so far succeeded in identifying the cause of the disease in many samples suspected of mitochondrial diseases.
