Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic variants in the MT-TD gene, which are associated with mitochondrial myopathy.
Positive result: Pathogenic variant detected, confirming genetic predisposition to mitochondrial myopathy.
Negative result: No pathogenic variants detected, but clinical correlation is advised.
Variant of uncertain significance: Further testing or family studies may be recommended.
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a geneticist or neurologist if symptoms persist, worsen, or if there is a family history of mitochondrial disorders.

Limitations

  • ⚠May not detect all genetic variants
  • ⚠Requires interpretation by a genetic counselor
  • ⚠Results may have variants of uncertain significance

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minimal risk from blood draw (e.g., bruising, infection)
  • ●Psychological impact of genetic results

Interfering Factors

  • ●Sample degradation
  • ●Contamination
  • ●Technical errors in sequencing
