Mitochondrial genetics and human systemic hypertension.
Evolution of biological processes is fascinating and more so the evolutionary reduction of mitochondrial genome. A proteobacterium that invaded the nucleus-containing host cell 1.5 billion years ago, as would the endosymbiotic model surmises,1 ended up enslaved and yet became the essence of life of the invaded cell. And, if so, the invader could not have had a genome that was comprised of only ...
متن کاملMitochondrial genetics
INTRODUCTION In the last 10 years the field of mitochondrial genetics has widened, shifting the focus from rare sporadic, metabolic disease to the effects of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variation in a growing spectrum of human disease. The aim of this review is to guide the reader through some key concepts regarding mitochondria before introducing both classic and emerging mitochondrial disorders...
متن کاملMitochondrial genetics
The mitochondrial genome is vital for Caenorhabditis elegans metabolism, physiology, and development. The C. elegans mitochondrial DNA is typical of animal mitochondrial genomes in its size and gene content. It is 13,794 nucleotides in length and encodes 36 genes: 2 ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs, and 12 protein subunits of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Although it represents only a sm...
متن کاملMitochondrial genetics and osteoarthritis.
The genetic contribution is one of the most notable factors that play a main role in the risk of OA. Despite the genetics of this disease is complex and the finding of risk-related genes has been very challenging, evidence for genetic predisposition has been reported. Besides, in the last years recent evidences indicate that the mitochondrion is implicated in OA. In this context, the mtDNA hapl...
