Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variants have been implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetes. A mutation in the tRNA leucine gene at position 3243 has been previously reported in mtDNA of maternally inherited diabetes and deafness (MIDD) patients. Because the true prevalence of the mitochondrial origin in diabetes may be underestimated, we searched for potentially diabetogenic anomalies of mtDNA in 9 patients highly...
