Mitochondrial DNA mutations in patients with orthostatic hypotension.

Abstract excerpt

We determined the entire sequence of the mitochondrial genome in affected individuals from three families with idiopathic orthostatic hypotension. The disorder in two of these families was recently linked to chromosome arm 18q, while the third family remains unlinked. In all three families, orthostatic hypotension is inherited through the females, suggesting the existence of additional contributing factors, such...
