Abstract excerpt
Somatic mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have been long proposed to drive initiation and progression of human malignancies. Our previous study revealed a high prevalence of somatic mutations in the D-loop region of mtDNA in Ewing sarcoma (EWS). However, it is unclear whether somatic mutations also occur in the coding regions of mtDNA in EWS. To test this possibility, in the present study, we sequenced the...
