Has anyone had the new Medomics Mito Dx test done? They say it's more effective than current mtDNA studies. How sensitive is the test? It looks promising since it does not require a muscle biopsy, only blood.
My daughter is in the process of having this test run right now. We are 13 weeks out from having sent a spit sample in, and we are still waiting on the results. My daughters Geneticist is on of the consulting clinicians for it and wanted us to have this test run (in fact at this point he hasn't even mentioned a muscle bx), although he has clinically dx my daughter already. When we get the results back I can let you know more.
