Abstract excerpt
In many mitochondrial diseases, different clinical manifestations are related to tissue-specific distribution of mutated mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). In this study, we describe an assay for the determination of mutated mtDNA copy number in small clinical samples, using standard polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by SYBR Green real-time allelic-specific PCR [amplification refractory mutation...
