Abstract excerpt
Prostate cancer management is complicated by extreme disease heterogeneity, which is further limited by availability of prognostic biomarkers. Recognition of prostate cancer as a genetic disease has prompted a focus on the nuclear genome for biomarker discovery, with little attention given to the mitochondrial genome. While it is evident that mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations are acquired during prostate...
