Organ-specific shifts in mtDNA heteroplasmy following systemic delivery of a mitochondria-targeted restriction endonuclease
Most pathogenic mtDNA mutations are heteroplasmic and there is a clear correlation between high levels of mutated mtDNA in a tissue and pathology. We have found that in vivo double strand breaks (DSB) in mtDNA lead to digestion of cleaved mtDNA and replication of residual mtDNA. Therefore, if DSB co...
