Abstract excerpt
Toxic effects in the uraemic state or during maintenance dialysis have been suggested to be responsible for DNA damage and tumour development in end-stage renal disease (ESRD). This study therefore analysed the mitochondrial DNA alterations in six kidneys with ESRD and in nine renal cell tumours arising in these kidneys. Sequencing the entire 16 569 bp mitochondrial genome disclosed 94 sequence variations in...
