Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The current diagnostic approach for mitochondrial disorders requires invasive procedures such as muscle biopsy and multiple biochemical testing but the results are often inconclusive. Clinical sequencing tests are available only for a limited number of genes. Recently, massively parallel sequencing has become a powerful tool for testing genetically heterogeneous conditions such as mitochondrial...
