Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Definitive molecular diagnosis of mitochondrial disorders has been greatly hindered by the tremendous clinical and genetic heterogeneity, the heteroplasmic condition of pathogenic mutations, and the presence of numerous homoplasmic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variations with unknown significance. We used temporal temperature gradient gel electrophoresis (TTGE) to detect heteroplasmic mutations from...
