Amplification of mitochondrial DNA in acute myeloid leukaemia
1 Nov 1996
Abstract excerpt
There is a long-standing interest in the possible role of mitochondria in malignancy. We sought to discover whether amplification of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) occurred in leukaemia, and found it was often remarkably amplified in the blast cells of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). We used gene dosage experiments to quantify the amount of mtDNA relative to nuclear DNA. DNA extracted from peripheral blood leucocytes...
