Mitochondrial D‐loop variations in paediatric acute myeloid leukaemia: a potential prognostic marker
9 Mar 2010
Abstract excerpt
The D-Loop region of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is the regulatory region for its replication and transcription. There are two hypervariable regions (HV-I, HV-II) and the rate of mutation in these regions is 100- to 200-fold that of nuclear DNA. In the current study, the entire D-loop region of mtDNA was amplified in two overlapping polymerase chain reaction fragments and variations were evaluated in 44 paediatric...
