What are the options for diagnosing mitochondrial disease?

Hi @JustinMcClanahan,
No, I strictly did WGS through Nebula on my own because of my family history and some unexplained health issues that I have. The providers in my primary care doctor's office did not have any information on mitochondrial disease or a specialist that I could contact. That is how I found my way here. I figured someone could point me in the right direction.
The effect on the different body systems definitely makes this a difficult puzzle to piece together. I've always said if I could just find the right person to just listen then the puzzle may be solved. Thanks again for your help.

Go to the UMDF web page . That's the United mitochondrial disease foundation and they have all kinds of information that will help you. I have found they have more information than anywhere else. They are also very responsive and helpful if you reach out to them. They are also working with CHOP and have created a database for people who have or is suspected of having mito to register to help in studying this disease.
