## 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 Dโloop of the mitochondrial

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
Oncocytoma, a benign solid tumor, occurs in a number of organs but most frequently in the kidneys. Its oncocytes display an intensely eosinophilic cytoplasm due to presence of numerous mitochondria. Mitochondrial DNA analysis of six renal cell oncocytomas and adjacent renal tissue was performed usin
## 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 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
