Mitochondrial 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...
متن کاملGenetics of Mitochondrial Myopathies
Pearson syndrome. Clinical spectrum of mitochondrial disorders is broad, so consensus diagnostic criteria for mitochondrial disorders have been proposed for children and adults. Sequence map of human mitochondrial genome with its normal and patho genic variants is publicly available. In this review, we will discuss genetic features of mitochondrial myopathies as well as their key findings. Rep...
