Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has a strong genetic basis, yet specific etiological factors remain unidentified in the majority of cases. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variations have been hypothesized as potential contributors to ASD development. However, the precise role of mtDNA remains unclear due to inconsistent findings across studies, which often suffer from methodological limitations. AIMS: This...
