Abstract excerpt
A heteroplasmic T to C transition at nucleotide position 14709 in the mitochondrial tRNA glutamic acid (tRNA(Glu)) gene has previously been associated with maternally inherited diabetes and deafness (MIDD). To investigate the pathogenic mechanism of the T14709C mutation, we have constructed transmitochondrial cell lines by transferring fibroblasts mitochondria from a patient with the mutation into human cells...
