Evolution and disease converge in the mitochondrion.

Biochimica et biophysica acta - 1 Jan 2000

Mishmar D, Zhidkov I

Abstract excerpt

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations are long known to cause diseases but also underlie tremendous population divergence in humans. It was assumed that the two types of mutations differ in one major trait: functionality. However, evidence from disease association studies, cell culture and animal m...
