متن کاملAfrican mitochondrial DNA subhaplogroups and peripheral neuropathy during antiretroviral therapy.
Susceptibility to peripheral neuropathy during antiretroviral therapy with nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors was previously associated with a European mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup among non-Hispanic white persons. To determine whether nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitor-associated peripheral neuropathy was related to mtDNA variation in non-Hispanic black persons, we seq...
