Mitochondrial DNA Mutations Linking Leigh Syndrome and Carotid Atherosclerosis: A Study of Shared Genetic Pathways
2024-10-14
Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial DNA encodes the genetic information necessary for mitochondrial function. In humans, mitochondrial DNA spans 16,569 base pairs while representing a small fraction of the genetic material in humans. Due to their higher mutation rates compared to nuclear DNA, Mitochondrial DNA mutations are emerging as promising biomarkers for assessing disease predisposition and progression. This in-silico analyzes th...
