The main goal of mtDNA testing is to gain a complete understanding of all of the important SNP mutations in your mtDNA. The HVR-1 test focuses on markers in the HVR-1 region, the HVR-2 test focuses on markers in the HVR-2 region, and the SNP Test Panels focus on relevant markers in the Coding Region.
