Abstract excerpt
Levels of mtDNA(4977) deletions (DeltamtDNA(4977)) have been found to be lower in tumors than in adjacent non-tumoral tissues. In 87 cancer patients, DeltamtDNA(4977) was detected by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification in 43 (49%) of the tumors and in 74 (85%) of the samples o...
