Abstract excerpt
We studied the inheritance and cellular segregation of a maternally inherited, heteroplasmic MT-ND5 mutation, m.13271T>C, previously shown to cause only exercise intolerance despite being present in multiple tissues. The mutation was present at low levels in early passage, bulk muscle culture, but on subcloning, only homoplasmic clones were found. Studies of transmission showed that the mutation expanded from...
