Abstract excerpt

Instances of point and length heteroplasmy in the mitochondrial DNA control region were compiled and analyzed from over 5,000 global human population samples. These data represent observations from a large and broad population sample, representing nearly 20 global populations. As expected, length heteroplasmy was frequently observed in the HVI, HVII and HVIII C-stretches. Length heteroplasmy was also observed in...
