Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Different mitochondrial DNA genotypes can coexist in a cell population as well as in a single cell, a condition known as heteroplasmy. Here, we accurately determined the heteroplasmy levels of the m.3243A>G mutation, which is the most frequently identified mutation in patients with mitochondrial diseases, using droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR). METHODS: The m.3243A>G heteroplasmy...
