Abstract excerpt

Over the past 20 years, great progress was achieved in the field of gene editing which raised the possibility of partial or complete elimination of mutant mtDNA that causes disease phenotypes. Each cell contains thousands of copies of mtDNA which can be either wild-type (WT) or mutant, a condition called...
