The abundance of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) deletions has been shown to increase with age in a number of species and may contribute to the aging process. Estimating the total mtDNA deletion load of an individual is essential in evaluating the potential physiological impact. In this study, we compared
The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of Japanese patients suffering from the syndrome of mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) exhibits a specific heteroplasmic A----G transition in the tRNA(Leu) at position 3243. In this study, we investigated mtDNA from
