Abstract excerpt
The percentage of common deletion of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was determined quantitatively by a PCR-based, non-radioactive method in DNA extracted from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded skeletal muscle tissues from two patients with Kearns Sayre syndrome (KSS) and one with chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia (CPEO). The method involved PCR cycle titration of wild-type and deleted mtDNA in parallel,...
