Abstract excerpt
To identify the role of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations in uterine fibroids patients, genomic DNA isolated from paired myometrium and fibroid tissues was screened for mutations. The present study represents the first investigation to report that 10.4% of uterine fibroids cases had either mtDNA mutations or polymorphisms or both. Among the 14 mitochondrial sequence variants identified, seven are somatic...
