Abstract excerpt
Numerous diseases in humans have been associated with mutations of the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA). This genome encodes 13 protein subunits of complexes involved in oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), a process that provides aerobic eukaryotes with the energy-rich adenosine triphosphate molecule (ATP). Mutations of the mtDNA may therefore have dramatic consequences especially in tissues and organs with high...
