MITO-CHIP

MITO-CHIP is a laboratory test that detects and analyzes mitochondrial DNA variations from a small blood sample. Mitochondria are tiny structures inside cells that produce energy essential for healthy function. By examining mitochondrial DNA, the test helps identify genetic mutations linked to mitochondrial diseases, which can cause various health issues like muscle weakness or developmental delays. It's a valuable tool for diagnosing these rare disorders, guiding treatment, and understanding mitochondrial health. The test is minimally invasive, quick, and provides insights into hereditary conditions related to energy production problems.
