## Communicated by Henrik Dahl The biological role of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region in mtDNA replication remains unclear. In a worldwide survey of mtDNA variation in the general population, we have identified a novel large control region deletion spanning positions 16154 to 16307 (m
The incidence (frequency of occurrence) and abundance (percentage of mutant out of total mtDNA population) of two different somatic mtDNA mutations in human skin were investigated in 44 subjects ranging from 19 to 87 years of age. Using quantitative allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (AS-PCR)
