| | Deoxyguanosine Kinase (DGUOK) Gene Sequencing - Mitochondrial DNA Analysis |
 | | Two primary enzymes: deoxyguanosine kinase (DGUOK, MIM601465) and thymidine kinase (TK2, MIM 188250), are responsible for the salvage biosynthesis of dNTPs necessary to maintain the balance of mitochondrial deoxynucleotide pools. |
