## Abstract Somatic 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. We analyzed som
Published mutations in deoxyguanosine kinase (DGUOK) cause mitochondrial DNA depletion and a clinical phenotype that consists of neonatal liver failure, nystagmus and hypotonia. In this series, we have identified 15 different mutations in the DGUOK gene from 9 kindreds. Among them, 12 have not previ
## Abstract Mitochondrial depletion syndrome (MDS) refers to a heterogeneous group of mitochondrial disorders characterized by a reduction of the mtDNA copy number in affected tissues. Mutations in __DGUOK__ encoding deoxyguanosine kinase (MIM 601465) cause the hepatocerebral form of MDS (MIM 25188
