T cell differentiation drives the negative selection of pathogenic mitochondrial DNA variants
31 Aug 2023
Abstract excerpt
Pathogenic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) single-nucleotide variants are a common cause of adult mitochondrial disease. Levels of some variants decrease with age in blood. Given differing division rates, longevity, and energetic requirements within haematopoietic lineages, we hypothesised that cell-type-specific metabolic requirements drive this decline. We coupled cell-sorting with mtDNA sequencing to investigate...
