Abstract excerpt
Oxidative damage-induced mitochondrial dysfunction may activate muscle catabolism and autophagy pathways to initiate muscle weakening in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs). In this study, Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the mitochondrial displacement loop (D-loop) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy number were assessed and their association with the risk of polymyositis and dermatomyositis...
