T cell differentiation drives the negative selection of pathogenic mtDNA variants
2023-04-28
Abstract excerpt
Pathogenic mitochondrial (mt)DNA single nucleotide variants are the most common cause of adult mitochondrial disease. Whilst levels of the most common heteroplasmic variant (m.3243A>G) remain stable in post-mitotic tissues, levels in mitotic tissues, such as blood, decrease with age. Given differing division rates, longevity and energetic requirements within haematopoietic lineages, we hypothesised that variant le...
