Pre Test Information
Prior to undergoing the MT-TS2 gene MERRFMELAS overlap syndrome test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a genetic counseling session may be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by MT-TS2 gene MERRFMELAS overlap syndrome. This information will assist in the accurate interpretation of the test results and provide insights into the inheritance pattern.
Test Details
The MT-TS2 gene is a mitochondrial gene responsible for encoding the transfer RNA for serine 2 (tRNA-Ser2). Mutations in this gene can lead to a range of mitochondrial disorders, including MERRF (Myoclonic Epilepsy with Ragged Red Fibers) and MELAS (Mitochondrial Encephalomyopathy, Lactic Acidosis, and Stroke-like episodes) overlap syndrome.
MERRF is characterized by symptoms such as myoclonus (involuntary muscle jerks), epilepsy, ataxia (lack of muscle coordination), and the presence of ragged red fibers when examining muscle tissue under a microscope. On the other hand, MELAS is characterized by a combination of symptoms including stroke-like episodes, encephalopathy (brain dysfunction), lactic acidosis (excessive lactic acid buildup), and muscle weakness.
The MT-TS2 related NGS Genetic Test utilizes Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze the MT-TS2 gene for any mutations or variants. By identifying the specific genetic mutation in the MT-TS2 gene, this test can confirm the diagnosis of MERRF/MELAS overlap syndrome, provide information about the prognosis and inheritance pattern, and guide the management and treatment of affected individuals.
If you suspect that you or a family member may have MT-TS2 gene MERRFMELAS overlap syndrome, it is crucial to undergo the MT-TS2 related NGS Genetic Test for accurate diagnosis and appropriate medical intervention.

Test Details |
MT-TS2 gene is a mitochondrial gene that encodes for the transfer RNA for serine 2 (tRNA-Ser2). Mutations in this gene can lead to a spectrum of mitochondrial disorders, including MERRF (Myoclonic Epilepsy with Ragged Red Fibers) and MELAS (Mitochondrial Encephalomyopathy, Lactic Acidosis, and Stroke-like episodes) overlap syndrome. MERRF is characterized by myoclonus (involuntary muscle jerks), epilepsy, ataxia (lack of muscle coordination), and ragged red fibers seen under microscopic examination of muscle tissue. MELAS is characterized by a combination of symptoms including stroke-like episodes, encephalopathy (brain dysfunction), lactic acidosis (buildup of lactic acid in the body), and muscle weakness. MT-TS2 related NGS Genetic Test is a genetic test that uses Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze the MT-TS2 gene for any mutations or variants. This test helps in the diagnosis of MERRF/MELAS overlap syndrome and other mitochondrial disorders caused by mutations in the MT-TS2 gene. By identifying the specific genetic mutation in the MT-TS2 gene, this test can confirm the diagnosis, provide information about the prognosis and inheritance pattern, and guide the management and treatment of the individual with MERRF/MELAS overlap syndrome. |
