Single deletions in mitochondrial DNA--molecular mechanisms and disease phenotypes in clinical practice.

Abstract excerpt

Over 20 years ago single clonal deletions were the first mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genetic defects described in association with human disease. Since then very large numbers of children and adults harbouring such deletions have been described and it is clear they are an important cause of human mitochondrial disease. However, there still remain many important challenges in relation to our understanding of...
