Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) accumulated in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is susceptible to the tumor formation. We discovered previously that SNPs in the mitochondrial displacement loop (D-loop) was associated with the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS: The cytochrome c oxidase (COX) genes of mtDNA were sequenced between 107 HCC patients and 100 matched healthy controls. The...
