Abstract excerpt
Type 2 (non-insulin dependent) diabetes mellitus may be inherited along the maternal line and a variety of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variants have been implicated in the pathogenesis. We have previously reported mutations in five regions of the mitochondrial genome which encompass 11 of the 22 tRNA genes. Now we employ the technique of single stranded conformational polymorphism (SSCP) analysis to investigate a...
