Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Detection of mutations in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is usually limited to common mutations and the transfer RNA genes. However, mutations in other mtDNA regions can be an important cause of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) disease as well. OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether regions in the mtDNA are preferentially mutated in patients with OXPHOS disease. METHODS: Screening of the mtDNA for...
