In 2002, paternal inheritance of muscle mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was reported in a patient with exercise intolerance and a mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutation restricted to skeletal muscle. To evaluate whether paternal inheritance is a common phenomenon, we studied 10 sporadic patients with skeletal
## Abstract By using a combination of Southern blot hybridization analysis, polymeraseβchain reaction amplification, and direct nucleotide sequencing, we studied deletions of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in several nonfamilial patients with progressive external ophthalmoplegia and KearnsβSayre syndrom
T hp is a large deletion on chromosome 17 which includes the maternal lethal gene Tme. Documentation of inheritance patterns suggests that Tme is an imprinted gene which is required for viability; maternal deletion is lethal while paternal deletion is viable. However, paternal transmission of T hp i
Past studies have shown a consistent association of a specific set of mitochondrial DNA 9 base pair (bp) deletion haplotypes with Polynesians and their Austronesian-speaking relatives, and the total lack of the deletion in a short series of New Guinea Highlanders. Utilizing plasma and DNA samples fr
