Abstract excerpt
Although the mitochondrial genome exhibits high mutation rates, common mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variation has not been consistently associated with pancreatic cancer. Here, we comprehensively examined mitochondrial genomic variation by sequencing the mtDNA of participants (cases = 286, controls = 283) in a San Francisco Bay Area pancreatic cancer case-control study. Five common variants were associated with...
