Abstract

Current approaches for diagnosing mitochondrial disorders involve specialist clinical assessment, biochemical analyses and targeted molecular genetic testing. There is now a strong rationale for undertaking first-line genome-wide sequencing, accelerating the speed of diagnosis and avoiding the need for expensive and invasive investigations.
