Abstract excerpt
AIM: Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence variations are associated with a number of human diseases. The 9-bp repeat sequence, CCCCCTCTA, in the intergenic region of MTCO2 and MTTK genes of the mtDNA has been extensively used in phylogenic studies. The sequence has been reported to be polymorphic in south-east Asians in isolated cases of mt diseases. This is the first systemic study identifying the role of...
