Advanced Telomere Shortening in Respiratory Chain Disorders
1 Jun 1997
Abstract excerpt
Cell and tissue damage in respiratory chain disorders have been related to increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). We measured telomere lengths in such disorders since ROS have also been implicated with telomere shortening. We investigated whole blood cell DNA of 14 patients with MELAS-related mitochondriopathy and two patients with the LHON-associated G11778A mutation of the mitochondrial genome....
