Mitochondrial DNA Common Deletion in Cancer: Emerging Evidence and Methodological Challenges
2024-11-28
Abstract excerpt
The 4,977 bp common deletion of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA-CD) is a large-scale deletion that has been frequently observed in various cancers in humans. The common deletion mutation affects 7 key genes encoding for several complex subunits essential to the oxidative phosphorylation system. In the last 20 years, the evidence for the presence of mtDNA-CD in cancer has been elusive. This review aims to examine the...
