Abstract excerpt
The Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is a rare disease caused by mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations. Beside primary mutations, the effect of secondary mtDNA mutations in still unclear. We examined the effect of secondary mtDNA mutations on secondary structure of different mitochondrial RNAs. Whole mitochondrial genome sequence of LHON patients has been obtained from in six non related pedigrees by...
