Triangulation of the human, chimpanzee, and Neanderthal genome sequences with respect to 44,348 disease-causing or disease-associated missense mutations and 1,712 putative regulatory mutations listed in the Human Gene Mutation Database was employed to identify genetic variants that are apparently pa

About one third of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients have no gross DNA rearrangements in the dystrophin gene detectable by Southern blot analysis or multiplex exon amplification. Presumably, in these cases, the deficiency is caused by minor structural lesions of the dystrophin gene. However
In an earlier study, we showed that heteroplasmy in the mitochondrial genome of gliomas sometimes occurs in a D-loop polycytosine tract. We extended this study by pairwise comparisons between glioma samples and adjacent brain tissue of 55 patients (50 glioblastomas, 1 astrocytoma WHO grade III, 4 as
