Abstract excerpt
To investigate the role of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in tumorigenesis, a temporal temperature gradient gel electrophoresis method was used to analyze the somatic mtDNA mutations in breast cancer. The entire mitochondrial genomes in 19 tumor samples and paired normal tissues from the same patients were amplified using 32 pairs of overlapping primers. DNA fragments showing different banding patterns between normal...
