Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations in coding and noncoding regions have been reported in a variety of human cancers. Despite a greater number of studies, the relationship between such alterations and nuclear microsatellite instability (nMSI) of the tumor cells remains controversial. To contribute new data to this discussion, we investigated head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) for mutations and...
