Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To explore the relationship between mitochondrial DNA quantity and heteroplasmy and early embryonic loss. METHODS: A total of 150 villous samples from patients with spontaneous abortion (SA, n = 75) or induced abortion (IA, n = 75) were collected. qPCR and next-generation sequencing (NGS) were used to test mitochondrial DNA quantity and heteroplasmy. Missense mutations with a CADD score > 15 and...
