Boost diagnostic yield with Exome + Mito Sequencing

  • The Operify ExomeMito Panel offers a unified solution by integrating whole exome sequencing with complete mitochondrial genome analysis—addressing both nuclear and mitochondrial causes of disease.

  • This combined approach is especially valuable in diagnosing complex, multisystemic, and rare disorders, where variants may exist across both genomes.

  • Mitochondrial disorders, though individually rare, are clinically significant, affecting approximately 1 in 5,000 individuals and often missed in standard testing.

  • Studies show that adding mitochondrial sequencing to exome testing increases diagnostic yield by up to 20%, offering greater clarity and clinical confidence. (PMID: 30369941)

  • While screening for rare genetic disorders, it's essential not to overlook the rarest among them-mitochondrial disorders, which occur in approximately 1 in 5,000 individuals. Although individually rare, their cumulative impact is significant in the context of rare disease diagnostics. Multiple studies have demonstrated a substantial increase in diagnostic yield—up to 20%—when mitochondrial genome sequencing is performed alongside whole exome sequencing. Reference: PMID: 30369941
