Courtagen Testing

[JenniferG]

We received the first have (mtSEEK) from Courtagen. Still awaiting the second part (nucSEEK). Spoke to Dr. T. He said the nucSEEK basically explains the mtSEEK. He said that all 3 of my kiddos have the same mutations that has been common in kids with PANDAS. He said, "don't panic, knowledge is power." Love him. Anyway, I was curious if anyone was familiar with the Courtagen test and maybe had the same variations and what was done about them.

 

Their variations are in ATP6 8843T>C lle 106Thr. Multiple Heterplasmies

 

I am sure I totally messed that up. If I could figure out how to post a pic, I could post the actual result.

 

Thanks for any input!!!

I can't find any reference to ATP6 8843T>C lle 106Thr. Multiple Heterplasmies in either snpedia.com or any literature - not even on sites for mitochondrial issues or the NIH. I'll PM you my email and you can send me a scan of the report. Not sure I'll be any help but I'll see if I can at least find some links for you.

Hi Jennifer-

 

I have the courtegen kits on my desk, planning to do mid year. I am interested in what you find out, and also what the difference is between this test and LLM's 23 and me test, and which could be more beneficial.....

 

Thanks!

Hi Jennifer,

 

I just got Courtagen results for my kids with PANDAS/PANS and they have the same exact mtDNA mutation. I would love to connect with you to compare notes as they have some of the other nuclear mutations found in PANDAS/PANS as well. I just joined the forum so I'm not sure if it is possible to private message, but please do contact me if you are interested in discussing this finding!

 

Best,

 

Christine

I'm looking at the results we have for DD from Courtagen. I don't understand exactly where to look, what column in the table or what heading in the paragraphs, to see if DD had same as you. Would like to understand this more... Where do you see this?

 

I see ATP6 listed under Gene/Region in "Table 2: Sequence Variants that are NOT Part of the Patient's Mitochondrial Haplogroup: H". I don't see similar numbers in the table.
