Evaluating length heteroplasmy in the human mitochondrial DNA control region.

International journal of legal medicine - 1 Mar 2010

Abstract excerpt

We present allelic data for three known and one new C-tract in the human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region, and we measure intergenerational mutation rates at such C-tracts. In detail, in a sample of 1,172 mtDNA sequences, we demonstrate the existence of an instability threshold of eight c...
