Sequence Homology at the Breakpoint and Clinical Phenotype of Mitochondrial DNA Deletion Syndromes

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) deletions are a common cause of mitochondrial disorders. Large mtDNA deletions can lead to a broad spectrum of clinical features with different age of onset, ranging from mild mitochondrial myopathies (MM), progressive external ophthalmoplegia (PEO), and Kearns-Sayre syndrome (KSS), to severe Pearson syndrome. The aim of this study is to investigate the molecular signa...

A Novel Large-Scale Deletion of The Mitochondrial DNA of Spermatozoa of Men in North Iran

Mitochondrial DNA sequence-based phylogenetic relationship of Trichiurus lepturus (Perciformes: Trichiuridae) from the Persian Gulf

In this study, mitochondrial DNA analysis using 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) was performed to investigate the phylogeny relationship of Trichiurus lepturus in the Persian Gulf compared to the other investigated area. The amplification of 16S rDNA resulted in a product of 600 bp in all samples. The results showed that the isolated strain belongs to T. lepturus showing 42 divergence sites among the s...

P-201: Prevalence of 4977bp Deletion in Mitochondrial DNA in IVF Failure Women

Background: Successful IVF process is limited by factors such as oocyte quality. Oocyte quality can be defined as its abilities to be fertilized, mature and give rise to normal offspring and it is dependent on nuclear maturation and cytoplasm maturation. Damage to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has been described in oocytes in IVF failure women that decrease cytoplasmic quality because Mitochondria ...
