Abstract excerpt
Determination of the total mtDNA sequence of a 42 year-old female with chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia (CPEO) revealed a heteroplasmic G-to-A transition at nt. 5877 in the tRNA-Tyr gene and a homoplasmic T-to-C transition in the tRNA-Gln gene at 4343. The former mutation was located in a highly conserved nucleotide in the DHU loop. This mutation by restriction enzyme analysis using Ddel was observed...
