MT-TS2 Gene MERRF/MELAS Overlap Syndrome NGS Genetic DNA Test
Comprehensive Mitochondrial Disorder Genetic Testing
The MT-TS2 Gene MERRF/MELAS Overlap Syndrome NGS Genetic DNA Test represents a breakthrough in mitochondrial disease diagnosis, offering precise detection of genetic mutations responsible for complex neurological and muscular conditions. This advanced genetic test specifically targets the MT-TS2 mitochondrial gene, which plays a critical role in cellular energy production and neurological function.
What This Test Measures and Detects
Our state-of-the-art Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines the complete MT-TS2 gene sequence to identify:
- Point mutations in mitochondrial DNA associated with MERRF syndrome
- Genetic variations linked to MELAS syndrome manifestations
- Overlapping mutation patterns that cause combined MERRF/MELAS symptoms
- Heteroplasmy levels indicating mutation burden in mitochondrial DNA
- Specific nucleotide changes affecting mitochondrial protein synthesis
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test
This comprehensive mitochondrial DNA test is recommended for individuals experiencing:
- Unexplained neurological symptoms including seizures or myoclonus
- Progressive muscle weakness and exercise intolerance
- Recurrent stroke-like episodes without vascular causes
- Developmental delays or regression in children
- Family history of mitochondrial disorders
- Unexplained lactic acidosis or metabolic abnormalities
- Vision or hearing problems of unknown origin
- Cardiac abnormalities with neurological involvement
Clinical Benefits of MT-TS2 Genetic Testing
Undergoing this specialized genetic analysis provides numerous advantages:
- Accurate Diagnosis: Precise identification of mitochondrial DNA mutations eliminates diagnostic uncertainty
- Personalized Treatment: Results guide targeted therapeutic interventions and medication selection
- Family Planning: Understanding inheritance patterns supports informed reproductive decisions
- Prognostic Information: Mutation-specific data helps predict disease progression and severity
- Clinical Management: Enables coordinated care between neurologists, cardiologists, and genetic specialists
- Research Contribution: Participation advances scientific understanding of mitochondrial disorders
Understanding Your Test Results
Our comprehensive genetic counseling services help you interpret your MT-TS2 test results:
- Positive Result: Indicates presence of MT-TS2 mutations; our genetic counselors explain implications and next steps
- Negative Result: Suggests MT-TS2 mutations are not detected; alternative genetic causes may be explored
- Variant of Uncertain Significance: Identifies genetic changes requiring further clinical correlation
- Heteroplasmy Level: Quantifies mutation percentage, helping predict symptom severity and onset
All results include detailed interpretation by board-certified genetic specialists and recommendations for clinical management.
