Abstract excerpt
Somatic mutations of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are associated with development of various types of human cancer. To elucidate the significance of somatic mutations of the mtDNA in gastric carcinogenesis, we examined mtDNA mutations in gastric cancers and in Helicobacter pylori-associated chronic gastritis (H. pylori-CG), which is associated with an increased risk for gastric cancer development. Specimens of...
