Test Details
The MT-TL1 gene is associated with a mitochondrial disorder called MELAS syndrome, which stands for Mitochondrial Encephalomyopathy, Lactic Acidosis, and Stroke-like episodes. MELAS syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that affects multiple systems in the body, particularly the brain and muscles.
The MT-TL1 gene is responsible for encoding a specific transfer RNA (tRNA) molecule involved in protein synthesis within mitochondria. Mutations in this gene can lead to a deficiency in the tRNA molecule, resulting in impaired mitochondrial function and energy production.
To diagnose MELAS syndrome and identify mutations in the MT-TL1 gene, a Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) genetic test can be performed. NGS is a high-throughput sequencing method that allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes or even the entire genome. In the case of MELAS syndrome, the NGS test would specifically target the MT-TL1 gene to identify any pathogenic mutations.
NGS genetic testing can provide valuable information about the presence of mutations in the MT-TL1 gene, which can help confirm a diagnosis of MELAS syndrome. This information can also be used for genetic counseling, as it can provide insight into the risk of passing the condition onto future generations. Additionally, NGS testing can help guide treatment decisions and management strategies for individuals with MELAS syndrome.
