Abstract excerpt
We have investigated the genetics of the length heteroplasmy associated with the T16189C variant of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), and report here definitive evidence that the pattern of the length heteroplasmy is not simply the outcome of drift related to the random segregation of the mtDNA population during cell division, but is actively maintained and regenerated de novo following each cell division. The pattern...
