MT-TM Gene Mitochondrial Myopathy Genetic Test
Overview
The MT-TM gene is associated with a condition called mitochondrial myopathy, which is a type of muscle disorder affecting the energy-producing structures within cells known as mitochondria. This gene provides instructions for the production of a specific mitochondrial transfer RNA (tRNA) molecule involved in protein synthesis within mitochondria.
Test Details
The MT-TM gene can be analyzed for mutations or abnormalities using a genetic test called MT-TM related NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing). This test involves sequencing the DNA of an individual to identify any changes in the MT-TM gene that may be causing mitochondrial myopathy.

Pre-Test Information
Before undergoing the MT-TM Gene Mitochondrial myopathy test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. A genetic counseling session may also be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by MT-TM Gene Mitochondrial myopathy.
Benefits of Genetic Testing
Genetic testing can help in diagnosing mitochondrial myopathy and providing appropriate treatment and management strategies. It can also assist in determining the risk of passing on the condition to future generations.
Availability
It is important to note that genetic testing for mitochondrial myopathy may not be available in all healthcare settings. Therefore, it is recommended to discuss this test with a healthcare provider or genetic counselor.
