Abstract excerpt
Breast cancer, a complex global health concern, has predominantly been studied for nuclear DNA variations. However, the role of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroups in breast cancer susceptibility, especially in Pakistan, remains underexplored. This case-control study investigates the association between mtDNA haplogroups and breast cancer in Pakistan. The study reveals a significant abundance of haplogroup M in...
