Abstract excerpt
Over 170 known mutations of the mitochondrial genome are responsible for disease. Due to the unique features of mitochondrial genetics, such patients are clinically diverse and difficult to diagnose. As pathogenic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations are mostly heteroplasmic, denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) could be used to detect these heteroplasmic species and therefore act as a rapid...
