It has been reported that various cancers frequently have mutations in the D-loop region of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). We examined the genetic alterations in this region of esophageal cancer using direct sequencing. Of 68 sequence variants, 15 have not been reported to date. Tumor mtDNA with these v

## Abstract Gastric carcinoma is one of the most common types of cancer in Taiwan. Somatic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) alteration in gastric carcinoma and its association with clinicopathologic features remain unclear. When we used polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and direct sequencing, 15 of the 31 (
## Abstract ## Background Alterations in mitochondrial DNA have been identified in a number of solid tumor types, including gastric, head and neck, breast, colorectal, lung, and bladder carcinomas. Recently, a homopolymeric C stretch (D310) located within the noncoding D‐loop of the mitochondrial
