Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is a 16,569 base pair (bp) circular genome that is passed from generation to generation through the maternal line. mtDNA analysis in the context of the forensic science field usually involves unidentified human remains or missing persons. These cases tend to have more challenging sample types (e.g., rootless hairs, bone, blood,

Mitochondrial DNA in Telocytes
2017Telocyte (TC) is a new identified interstitial cell type with a small nuclear and one or several long and thin prolongations with enlargements on them. They were found in many mammals including humans, mouse, rats, dogs, and monkeys and play vital roles in many physiological and pathological conditions.

In this article we review our current knowledge of the mechanisms by which point mutations arise in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and discuss to what extent these mechanisms operate in human mtDNA mutagenesis. The 3'-5' exonuclease proofreading activity of Pol gamma ensures accuracy of mtDNA replication in both yeast and ...

Mitochondrial DNA of Kinetoplastids
1992Publisher Summary This chapter highlights mitochondrial DNA of kinetoplastids. Kinetoplast DNA (kDNA) is the unusual mitochondrial DNA characteristic of members of Kinetoplastida. This DNA has two distinctive general features—namely, (1) it comprises two classes of unrelated circular molecules, maxicircles and minicircles, and (2) in each cell these ...

Mitochondrial DNA polymorphism in mitochondrial myopathy
Human Genetics, 1988In order to test the hypothesis that mitochondrial myopathy may be caused by mutation of the mitochondrial (mt) genome, restriction fragment length polymorphism in leucocyte mt DNA has been studied in 38 patients with mitochondrial myopathy, 44 of their unaffected matrilineal relatives, and 35 normal control subjects.

DUPLICATIONS OF MITOCHONDRIAL DNA IN MITOCHONDRIAL MYOPATHY
The Lancet, 1989Restriction enzyme analysis was done on total cellular DNA extracted from whole blood in two patients with mitochondrial myopathy and multisystem involvement and their families. The two patients had an abnormal mitochondrial genome with a large (about 8 kb) duplication present in several tissues.

Mitochondrial Oxidative Stress and Mitochondrial DNA
Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine, 2003Mitochondria produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) under physiological conditions in association with activity of the respiratory chain in aerobic ATP production. The production of ROS is essentially a function of O2 consumption. Hence, increased mitochondrial activity per se can be an oxidative stress to cells.

ASTENOZOOSPERMY AND MITOCHONDRIAL DNA
2006Male infertility, inability to fecundate the oocyte, is due to alterations of sperm characteristics (low number, low motility, altered morphology), to the quantity of semen or to the presence of alterations in the male genital line. 75% of infertile men deal with untreatable sub-fertility.

Mitochondrial DNA mutations and mitochondrial DNA depletion in breast cancer
Genes, Chromosomes and Cancer, 2006AbstractSomatic mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have been demonstrated in various tumors, including breast cancer. However, it still remains unclear whether the alterations in mtDNA are related to the clinicopathological features and/or the prognosis in the breast cancer.

MITOCHONDRIAL DNA AND HUMAN EVOLUTION
Annual Review of Genomics and Human Genetics, 2005▪ Abstract Several unique properties of human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), including its high copy number, maternal inheritance, lack of recombination, and high mutation rate, have made it the molecule of choice for studies of human population history and evolution.
