A functionally dominant mitochondrial DNA mutation.
Mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) tRNA genes can be considered functionally recessive because they result in a clinical or biochemical phenotype only when the percentage of mutant molecules exceeds a critical threshold value, in the range of 70-90%. We report a novel mtDNA mutation that contradicts this rule, since it caused a severe multisystem disorder and respiratory chain (RC) deficien...
متن کاملQuantification of mitochondrial DNA mutation load
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations are an important cause of genetic disease and have been proposed to play a role in the ageing process. Quantification of total mtDNA mutation load in ageing tissues is difficult as mutational events are rare in a background of wild-type molecules, and detection of individual mutated molecules is beyond the sensitivity of most sequencing based techniques. The ...
متن کاملDNA Sequence Fragment Containing C to A Mutation as a Convenient Mutation Standard for DHPLC Analysis
Objective(s): Denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) is a high throughput approach for screening DNA sequence variations. To assess oven calibration, cartridge performance, buffer composition and stability, the WAVE Low and High Range Mutation Standards are employed to ensure reproducibility and accuracy of the chromatographic analysis. The purpose of this study was to provi...
متن کاملMitochondrial DNA mutation in essential hypertension
Essential hypertension (EH) is an escalating problem for developed and developing countries. It is currently seen as a ‘complex’ genetic trait caused by multiple susceptibility genes which are modulated by gene-environment and gene-gene interactions. Over the past 10 years, mitochondrial defects have been implicated in a wide variety of degenerative diseases, aging, and cancer. Recently several...
متن کاملFamily migraine with mitochondrial DNA A3111T mutation
Complicated Migraine is a core syndrome of mitochondrial disease. We report a family with the clinical manifestations of migraine, increased serum lactate, shortness of stature, hearing and memory impairment with maternal inheritance. The proband was revealed to have hypometabolism through PGD-PET brain scanning, and focal dystonia, tunnel vision, and early dementia in clinic. In conclusion, A3...
