Abstract excerpt
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a multifactorial disease with the underlying involvement of environment, life style and nuclear genetics. However, the role of extranuclear genetic material in terms of somatically acquired mutations in mitochondrial tRNA and protein coding genes in the initiation or progression of CAD is not well defined. Hence, in the present study, right atrial appendage tissues and matched...
