mtDNA single macrodeletions associated with myopathies: absence of haplogroup-related increased risk.

Abstract excerpt

As for any non-recombining genome, any mutation at mtDNA, if not recurrent, appears on a particular haplotype background, allowing its detection by haplogroup association studies. It has been shown that the propensity for occurrence of single macrodeletions at a level beyond the pathological threshold is associated with super-haplogroup U/K. However, in this report, we present evidence for the absence of...
