Mitochondrial Dna (mtdna) Testing Has Become An Increasingly Important Tool In Medical Genetic Diagnostics
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) testing has become an increasingly important tool in medical genetic diagnostics. Unlike nuclear DNA, which is inherited from both parents, mitochondrial DNA is inherited exclusively from the mother. It is located in the mitochondria, the energy-producing structures in cells, and contains a small but vital portion of the genetic material necessary for cellular function.
