Mitochondrial DNA sequencing and large-scale genotyping identifies MT-ND4 gene mutation m.11696G>A associated with idiopathic oligoasthenospermia
Genetic variants of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) were implicated to be associated with male infertility. Our previous whole mitochondrial genome sequencing and association study has identified two susceptibility mtDNA variants for oligoasthenospermia in Han Chinese men. In this study, we tested promising associations in an extended validation using 670 idiopathic oligoasthenospermia cases and 793 ...
متن کاملThe mitochondrial DNA mutations associated with cardiac arrhythmia investigated in an LQTS family
Objective(s): As mitochondrial oxidative stress is probably entailed in ATP production, a candidate modifier factor for the long QT syndrome (LQTS) could be mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). It has been notified that ion channels' activities in cardiomyocytes are sensitive to the ATP level. Materials and Methods: The sample of the research was an Iranian family with LQTS for mutations by PCR-SSCP and...
متن کاملDNA rearrangements associated with reversion of bacteriophage Mu-induced mutations.
Excision of transposable genetic elements from host DNA is different from the classical prophage lambda type of excision in that it occurs at low frequency and is mostly imprecise; only a minority of excision events restores the wild-type host sequences. In bacteriophage Mu, a highly efficient transposon, imprecise excision is 10-100 times more frequent than precise excision. We have examined a...
متن کاملNovel DNA rearrangements are associated with dihydrofolate reductase gene amplification.
We have employed the technique of chromosome "walking" to determine the structure of 240 kilobases of amplified DNA surrounding the dihydrofolate reductase gene in methotrexate-resistant mouse cell lines. Within this region, we have found numerous DNA rearrangements which occurred during the amplification process. DNA subclones from regions flanking the dihydrofolate reductase gene were also ut...
متن کاملSyndromes associated with mitochondrial DNA depletion
Mitochondrial dysfunction accounts for a large group of inherited metabolic disorders most of which are due to a dysfunctional mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC) and, consequently, deficient energy production. MRC function depends on the coordinated expression of both nuclear (nDNA) and mitochondrial (mtDNA) genomes. Thus, mitochondrial diseases can be caused by genetic defects in either the...
