Abstract excerpt
The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) substitution rate and segregation of heteroplasmy were studied for the non-coding control region (D-loop) and 500 bp of the coding region between nucleotide positions 5550 and 6050, by sequence analysis of blood samples from 194 individuals, representing 33 maternal lineages. No homoplasmic nucleotide substitutions were detected in a total of 292 transmissions. The estimated...
