Mitochondrial DNA Mutations, Pathogenicity and Inheritance

Mitochondria contain their own DNA (mtDNA), which codes for 13 proteins (all subunits of the respiratory chain complexes), 22 tRNAs and 2 rRNAs. Several mtDNA point mutations as well as deletions have been shown to be causative in well-defined mitochondrial disorders. A mixture of mutated and wild type mtDNA (heteroplasmy) is found in most of these disorders. Inheritance of mtDNA is maternal, a...

Mitochondrial DNA mutations in disease and aging

The human mitochondrial genome involves over 1,000 genes, dispersed across the maternally inherited mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and the biparentally inherited nuclear DNA (nDNA). The mtDNA encodes 13 core proteins that determine the efficiency of the mitochondrial energy-generating system, oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), plus the RNA genes for their translation within the mitochondrion. The m...

Mitochondrial DNA mutations in Parkinson's disease brain

Dear Editors, We read with interest the publication by Wei et al., Mitochondrial DNA Point Mutations and Relative Copy Number in 1363 Disease and Control Human Brains, Acta Neuropathol Commun. 2017; 5: 13 [4]. We disagree with the authors’ conclusion that their data indicate that, “single nucleotide variants of mtDNA are unlikely to play a major role in the pathogenesis of these neurodegenerati...

Mitochondrial DNA mutations in human disease.

The small, maternally inherited mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has turned out to be a Pandora's box of pathogenic mutations: 13 years into the era of "molecular mitochondrial medicine," more than 100 pathogenic point mutations and innumerable rearrangements have been associated with a striking variety of multisystemic as well as tissue-specific human diseases. After reviewing the principles of mitoc...

Mitochondrial DNA mutations in disease, aging, and neurodegeneration.

Patients with disorders from mutations in the mitochondrial genome have variable phenotypes, but common to many of these disorders are underlying changes in postmitotic cells, particularly neurons and muscle fibers. The mitochondrial dysfunction caused by these mutations has been shown to be associated with signs of apoptosis and to cause cell loss. Mutations of the mitochondrial genome have al...
