Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Several maternally inherited point mutations of the mitochondrial genome cause mitochondrial disorders, but the correlation between genotype and phenotype remains obscure in many cases. The same mutation may cause various diseases, probably because of a different tissue distribution. OBJECTIVE: To assess the role of random somatic segregation in generating interperson differences by analysis of an...
