Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial DNA mutations are one of the molecular genetic bases of hypertension. Here, we performed clinical, genetic and mutational evaluation, molecular characterization as well as biochemical analysis of a Chinese Han family with maternally inherited hypertension. The m.15909A > G variant in tRNAThr was identified. This mutation abolished a highly conserved base pairing (11U-24A) in the D-stem of tRNAThr...
