[Damage of mitochondrial DNA in selected pathologies].

Abstract excerpt

The presence of separate genetic information in the mitochondria let consider them as semiautonomous structures. Changes of mitochondrial genetic material were detected in many pathologies; they have a number of common traits, but they also differ in terms of frequency of occurrence. This paper presents data concerning mtDNA and a review of most commonly encountered mutations and the associated pathologies.
