We are excited to introduce MitoSwab™, a groundbreaking and non-invasive test designed to assess mitochondrial function. This innovative test provides a simple, painless cheek swab (from the buccal mucosa) to analyze the activity of key enzymes within your mitochondria. By measuring these enzyme activities, MitoSwab™ offers valuable insights into mitochondrial health, without the need for an invasive muscle biopsy.
This test is especially helpful for individuals with suspected mitochondrial disease, as it allows for the evaluation of respiratory chain enzyme dysfunction—a common marker of mitochondrial disorders. Studies have demonstrated a high correlation between enzyme activity measured in buccal cells and traditional muscle biopsy results, offering a reliable alternative for diagnosis.
