Presence of mitochondrial tRNA <sup>Leu(UUR)</sup> A to G 3243 mutation in DNA extracted from serum and plasma of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
1 Jun 2000
Abstract excerpt
AIMS/BACKGROUND: An A to G substitution at base pair 3243 in the mitochondrial tRNA(Leu(UUR)) gene (mt3243) is commonly associated with maternally inherited diabetes and deafness, and other diseases. It is possible that cell free mitochondrial DNA exists in serum and plasma from these patients, and these samples might be a source of material for the detection of such mutations. METHODS: Sixteen patients with type...
