Abstract excerpt
We have performed a systematic review and meta-analysis for evaluation of mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNA-CN) alterations in peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL), and tumor tissues of gastrointestinal tract (GIT) cancers. Analysis of the PBL demonstrated a significant decrease [OR: 0.6 (0.5, 0.8)] and increase [OR: 1.4 (1.1, 1.9)] prior to and following GIT cancer development, respectively. This trend was more...
