Mitochondrial replacement to prevent the transmission of mitochondrial DNA disease
M itochondrial medicine has seen major advances over recent years. The development of new genetic technology has enabled the genetic diagnosis to be established in an increasing number of patients. This has led to a recognition that mitochondrial diseases are not rare, but one of the most common group of genetic diseases. Associated with these advances, there have been undoubted improvements in...
متن کاملTransmission of Mitochondrial DNA Diseases and Ways to Prevent Them
Recent reports of strong selection of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) during transmission in animal models of mtDNA disease, and of nuclear transfer in both animal models and humans, have important scientific implications. These are directly applicable to the genetic management of mtDNA disease. The risk that a mitochondrial disorder will be transmitted is difficult to estimate due to heteroplasmy-th...
متن کاملmelatonin and human mitochondrial diseases
mitochondrial dysfunction is one of the main causative factors in a wide variety of complications such as neurodegenerative disorders, ischemia/reperfusion, aging process, and septic shock. decrease in respiratory complex activity, increase in free radical production, increase in mitochondrial synthase activity, increase in nitric oxide production, and impair in electron transport system and/or...
متن کاملMitochondrial Dna Replacement Versus Nuclear Dna Persistence
In this paper we consider two populations whose generations are not overlapping and whose size is large. The number of males and females in both populations is constant. Any generation is replaced by a new one and any individual has two parents for what concerns nuclear DNA and a single one (the mother) for what concerns mtDNA. Moreover, at any generation some individuals migrate from the first...
متن کاملMitochondrial DNA Damage and Diseases
Various endogenous and environmental factors can cause mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage. One of the reasons for enhanced mtDNA damage could be its proximity to the source of oxidants, and lack of histone-like protective proteins. Moreover, mitochondria contain inadequate DNA repair pathways, and, diminished DNA repair capacity may be one of the factors responsible for high mutation frequency o...
