Abstract excerpt
Kidneys are highly aerobic organs that are critically dependent on the normal functioning of mitochondria. Genetic variations disrupting mitochondrial function are associated with multifactorial disorders including kidney disease. This study sequenced the entire mitochondrial genome in a renal transplant cohort of 64 individuals, using next-generation sequencing, to evaluate the association of genetic variants...
