ExomeDx™ + mito (Trio)
Use
ExomeDx™ + mito (Trio) combines comprehensive exome sequencing with mitochondrial genome sequencing and deletion testing in a trio (patient plus two biologic relatives). It is intended for patients with suspected mitochondrial disease or other genetic etiologies where both nuclear and mitochondrial DNA variants may contribute to the phenotype. Trio testing enhances diagnostic confidence by enabling inheritance analysis and variant interpretation.

Not provided.
Limitations
As with all exome-based testing, not all variant types may be detected—such as structural variants beyond exonic CNVs, deep intronic variants, or repeat expansions. Mitochondrial heteroplasmy below detection threshold may be missed. Detection depends on coverage and sample quality; interpretation may be limited without clinical correlation and phenotype information.
