Abstract excerpt
We have studied the genetic characteristics of a homopolymeric tract length heteroplasmy associated with the 16189C variant in the mtDNA D-loop control region to identify the factor(s) involved in the generation of the length heteroplasmy. The relative proportion of the various lengths of the polycytosines (i.e., the pattern of the length heteroplasmy) is maintained in an individual, and previous evidence shows...
