Accumulation of mitochondrial 7S DNA in idiopathic and LRRK2 associated Parkinson's disease
1 Oct 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Both idiopathic and familial Parkinson's disease are associated with mitochondrial dysfunction. Mitochondria have their own mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and previous studies have reported that the release of mtDNA is a biomarker of Parkinson's disease. METHODS: -associated Parkinson's disease (LRRK2-PD), using Selfie-digital PCR, a method that allows absolute quantification of mtDNA genomes and...
