Abstract excerpt
We present data on mitochondrial DNA deletions and mitochondrial diseases. The mechanism of their occurrence is discussed on the basis of deletion breakpoints and particularly with the slippage mispairing hypothesis. As the correlation between the genotypes and the phenotypes is not always straightforward, a classification of mitochondrial diseases is suggested according to the genotype (deletions, depletions and...
