Abstract excerpt
Marked sequence variation in the mtDNA control region has been observed in human single CD34(+) cells, which persist in vivo and are present also in differentiated hematopoietic cells. In this study, we analyzed 5071 single CD34(+) cells from 49 individuals (including 31 maternally related members from four families and 18 unrelated donors) in order to determine the mutation spectrum within the mtDNA control...
