Mitochondrial transfer RNA (mt-tRNA) mutations are the commonest mitochondrial (mtDNA) mutations to cause human disease. The majority of mt-tRNA mutations are heteroplasmic and while some exhibit maternal transmission within families, many others are only seen as sporadic mutations. Using the availa
## Abstract More than 200 disease‐related mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) point mutations have been reported in the Mitomap (http://www.mitomap.org) database. These mutations can be divided into two groups: mutations affecting mitochondrial protein synthesis, including mutations in tRNA and rRNA genes; a
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most common form of genetic variation in humans. The number of SNPs identified in the human genome is growing rapidly, but attaining experimental knowledge about the possible disease association of variants is laborious and time-consuming. Several compu
