Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) heteroplasmy, which is the coexistence of wild-type and mutant mtDNA variants within the same cell, plays a critical role in modulating cellular phenotypes, disease severity, and penetrance. Bulk RNA sequencing cannot detect cell-to-cell heteroplasmy variability, limiting our understanding of the pathological mechanisms of mtDNA variants. In this study, we leveraged single-cell RNA...
