Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Numerous studies have linked impaired mitochondrial activity with increased risk for clinical complications after injury. Furthermore, a number of nonsynonymous polymorphisms have been identified within the mitochondrial genome that are believed to impair cellular respiration. These DNA variants include a nonsynonymous polymorphism (T4216C) in the NADH dehydrogenase 1 gene (ND1), which encodes a key...
