How useful is the buccal swab lab test for mitochondrial electron transport chain (complex i, ii, iii, iv)? assuming mitochondria disorder is present, do resulting levels mainly affect rx dosing, or are different drugs selected / ruled out entirely?

Scam??: Fairly familiar with traditional Medicine. Never heard of a traditionally verified “mitochondrial disorder”. Such abnormalities are so profound that the fetus is not viable and is spontaneously aborted. Have heard of lots (and lots) of scams, many using the word “mitochondrial” Be careful
