## Abstract Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) large deletions and mtDNA mutations have been demonstrated in various types of human cancer. The relationship between the occurrence of such alterations and the nuclear microsatellite instability (MSI) status of the neoplastic cells remains controversial. In an
Large-scale deletions and point mutations of the mitochondrial DNA are generally accepted as being involved in the pathogenesis of diseases associated with mitochondrial encephalomyopathies such as Kearns-Sayre syndrome and chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia (CPEO). We screened suspected p
