Deletions of the mitochondrial genome [PDF]

open access: possibleJournal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, 1992
SummarySingle large deletions of mitochondrial DNA are found in the muscle of about 40% of patients with mitochondrial myopathies, and are detectable in both blood and muscle in Pearson syndrome. In mitochondrial myopathies, there is a close association between the presence of deletions and involvement of extra‐ocular muscles, together with other ...

The Mitochondrial Genome of Protists

Russian Journal of Genetics, 2002
The data on the structure and functions of the mitochondrial genomes of protists (Protozoa and unicellular red and green algae) are reviewed. It is emphasized that mitochondrial gene structure and composition, as well as organization of mitochondrial genomes in protists are more diverse than in multicellular eukaryotes.

The Mitochondrial Genome And Human Mitochondrial Diseases

Journal of the Peripheral Nervous System, 2002
To date, more than 100 point mutations and several hundreds of structural rearrangements of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are known too be connected with characteristic neuromuscular and other mitochondrial syndromes varying from those causing death at the neonatal stage to diseases with late ages of onset. The immediate cause of mitochondrial disorders is

Mitochondrial genome and longevity

Biochemistry (Moscow), 2016
The mitochondrial genome provides not only respiratory chain function, but it also ensures the impact of mitochondria on nearly all crucial metabolic processes. It is well known that mitochondria regulate aging and lifespan. However, until now there were no direct experimental data concerning the influence of various mitochondrial DNA variants on ...
