Mitochondrial D-Loop Region Methylation and Copy Number in Peripheral Blood DNA of Parkinson’s Disease Patients
12 May 2021
Abstract excerpt
Altered mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) methylation has been detected in several human pathologies, although little attention has been given to neurodegenerative diseases. Recently, altered methylation levels of the mitochondrial displacement loop (D-loop) region, which regulates mtDNA replication, were observed in peripheral blood cells of Alzheimer's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients. However,...
