Mitochondrial Genome Analysis

Analysis of mitochondrial DNA variants is crucial for understanding the genetic basis of mitochondrial diseases,
which are caused by mutations in mitochondrial genes that often affect tissues and organs with high energy
demands, such as muscles and the nervous system. These diseases can manifest as a wide range of symptoms,
including muscle weakness, neurological problems, and developmental delays. Identifying pathogenic mutations
helps in diagnosing mitochondrial disorders and developing targeted therapies.
