Nucleus-driven mutations of human mitochondrial DNA.

Abstract excerpt

Neuromuscular disorders due to abnormalities of mitochondrial energy supply have become an important area of human pathology. In particular, lesions of the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA), a small extra-nuclear chromosome which encodes 13 subunits of the respiratory chain complexes, are responsible for a steadily increasing number of neuromuscular syndromes. In addition to sporadic or maternally-inherited mutations,...
