Abstract excerpt
To investigate how mitochondrial mutation occurs in cancers, we analyzed ND4 mutation in 53 transitional cell carcinomas (TCCs) of the upper urinary tract and the normal counterpart (perirenal soft tissue). Three methods, i.e., DNA sequencing, restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), and denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC), were employed because of their different sensitive of...
