MT-TF Gene MELAS Syndrome NGS Genetic DNA Test

Understanding Your Health Concerns

When you or your loved one experiences unexplained neurological symptoms, muscle weakness, or developmental delays, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. We understand the emotional toll of searching for answers, and our MT-TF Gene MELAS Syndrome test is designed to provide the clarity and direction you need for your health journey.

What This Test Detects

This advanced genetic test specifically identifies mutations in the MT-TF gene, which are responsible for Mitochondrial Encephalomyopathy, Lactic Acidosis, and Stroke-like episodes (MELAS) syndrome. Using cutting-edge Next Generation Sequencing technology, we examine your mitochondrial DNA with exceptional accuracy to detect the specific genetic variations that cause this complex condition.

Who Should Consider This Test

If you or your family members experience:

• Unexplained stroke-like episodes at a young age
• Progressive muscle weakness and fatigue
• Developmental delays in children
• Seizures or neurological symptoms
• Family history of mitochondrial disorders
• Unexplained lactic acidosis
• Vision or hearing problems without clear cause

This test could provide the answers you’ve been searching for.
