Show Notes

Genetic testing and muscle biopsies are important tools in diagnosing mitochondrial disease, but sometimes it can be confusing how and when they are used. This presentation will seek to bring clarity around how these two different testing options are used, why clinics may choose to use one testing option over another, what information they can/cannot tell us, and how clinics use these options to determine a diagnosis of mitochondrial disease.
