Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The accumulation of the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the mitochondrial displacement loop (D-loop) has been reported in many types of cancers. And the association with the risk and prognosis of cancers also has been described extensively. In the present study, we investigated the association between the age-at onset and SNPs in the D-loop of mitochondria DNA (mtDNA) using a population-based...
