The diagnosis of mitochondrial disorders has increased considerably over the past few years. However, the genetics are complex, as the causative mutations can be in either the mitochondrial or the nuclear genome. Identification of the molecular defects in the causative genes is the key to a definitive diagnosis of the disease. Here, we describe PCR-based sequence analysis of the entire mitochondrial genome and a group of nuclear genes known to cause mitochondrial disorders. © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
