Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mitochondrial disorders are difficult to diagnose due to extreme genetic and phenotypic heterogeneities. METHODS: We explored the utility of targeted next-generation sequencing for the diagnosis of mitochondrial disorders in 148 patients submitted for clinical testing. A panel of 447 nuclear genes encoding mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes, and other genes inducing secondary mitochondrial...
