A new study from deCODE genetics uses pedigrees and sequence data from 64,806 Icelanders to shed light on the rate and nature of mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and the peculiar dynamics of its ...
The AHA recommends using whole exome or whole genome sequencing as first-line diagnostic tools for mitochondrial diseases, which frequently manifest as life-threatening CV conditions. The American ...
Researchers identified a new, sticky form of mitochondrial DNA damage that builds up at dramatically higher levels than in nuclear DNA. These lesions disrupt energy production and activate ...
