Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Accumulating evidence implicates mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) alleles, which are independent of the nuclear genome, in disease, especially in human metabolic diseases. However, this area of investigation has lagged behind in researching the nuclear alleles in complex traits, for example, in gout. METHODS: Next-generation sequencing was utilized to investigate the relationship between mtDNA alleles and...
