Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial health is an integral factor in aging, with mitochondrial dysfunction known to increase with age and contribute to the development of age-related neurodegenerative disorders. Additionally, the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) has been shown to acquire potentially damaging somatic variation as part of the aging process, while mtDNA single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) have been shown to be both...
