Sequence variations of mitochondrial DNA D-loop region are associated with familial nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) D-loop has been identified as a frequent hot spot of mutations in various tumors. The aim here was to investigate the sequence variations of mitochondrial D-loop region in familial nasopharyngeal carcinoma (FNPC) and their possible associations with cancer risk. 29 subjects from 4 Chinese NPC families and 20 sporadic NPC as well as 122 cases of normal control were recr...
متن کاملSequence Variations of Mitochondrial DNA Displacement-Loop in Iranian Indigenous Sheep Breeds
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has been used extensively to study population genetics because it has the unique features of maternal inheritance, a relatively fast rate of evolution and lack of recombination. A total of 82 unrelated sheep from 10 Iranian indigenous sheep breeds were investigated to determinate the maternal genetic diversity using a sequence of a 685 bp segment of the displacement lo...
متن کاملSequence variations of mitochondrial DNA D-loop region in patients with acute myeloid leukemia.
The aim of the present study was to explore variations of the displacement (D)-loop region in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and their possible associations with AML pathogenesis. Blood or bone marrow samples from 216 patients with AML (158 AML patients in the first stage, and 58 more patients with AML-M3 for further verification), and 146 healthy controls were collected. Sanger seq...
متن کاملGenetic Analysis of D-Loop Region of Mitochondrial DNA Sequence in Iranian Patients with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP): A Case-Control Study
Background and Objectives: Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is an inherited disorder and a rare form of colorectal cancer. This disease appears equally in both sexes and its occurrence is more in the second or third decade of life. Mutations and alterations of the mitochondrial genome, especially the D-loop region, have been reported in various human tumors. But the exact role of these muta...
متن کاملEvolution of repeated sequence arrays in the D-loop region of bat mitochondrial DNA.
Analysis of mitochondrial DNA control region sequences from 41 species of bats representing 11 families revealed that repeated sequence arrays near the tRNA-Pro gene are present in all vespertilionine bats. Across 18 species tandem repeats varied in size from 78 to 85 bp and contained two to nine repeats. Heteroplasmy ranged from 15% to 63%. Fewer repeats among heteroplasmic than homoplasmic in...
