Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis of mitochondrial DNA point mutation.

Abstract excerpt

Mitochondrial respiratory chain disorders are a group of clinically and genetically heterogeneous diseases. Several mitochondrial (mt)DNA point mutations are responsible for common mitochondrial diseases. These pathogenic mtDNA point mutations are usually heteroplasmic. Molecular diagnosis of the disease requires both qualitative detection of the mutation and quantitative analysis of the mutant heteroplasmy. In...
