Abstract
Objective: Detection of mtDNA copy number is required for diagnosis of mtDNA depletion. Multiplex quantification of mtDNA in blood samples was claimed via normalizing to a nuclear single copy gene using qPCR. This is not possible in high mtDNA samples due to template abundance. Multiplex qPCR assays cannot be normalized to single copy sequences of the nuclear genome.
