Abstract excerpt
The entire mitochondrial DNA control region (approximately 1122 bp) of 270 blood samples (135 mother-child pairs) was determined by direct sequencing. Overall, 135 'generational events' were screened and within these, 20 mother-offspring pairs demonstrated more than 1 mtDNA haplotype. In 13 families, differences in the haplotypes between mother and offspring were detected in the form of heteroplasmic...
