Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup U, defined by the polymorphism 12308A>G, may constitute a risk factor for an occipital stroke in migraine. We therefore identified 14 patients with an occipital stroke and with 12308A>G. We determined complete mtDNA coding region sequence for the patients and for population controls by conformation sensitive gel electrophoresis (CSGE) and direct sequencing. Sequence...
