Abstract excerpt
Somatic mutations of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are associated with various types of human cancer. To elucidate their role in gastric carcinogenesis, we analyzed mutations in the displacement loop region of mtDNA in 24 paraffin-embedded gastric intraepithelial neoplasias (formerly dysplasia) from a high gastric cancer risk area in northern Italy. Helicobacter pylori infection was assessed by histological...
