Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mitochondrial diseases, often stemming from recessive nuclear gene mutations, represent a heterogeneous group of disorders with significant morbidity and mortality. Carrier screening for these conditions is population-specific, yet data on the pathogenic variant burden in the Iranian population remain limited. This study aimed to analyze whole-exome sequencing (WES) data from 9989 Iranian individuals...
