Dynamics of mitochondrial heteroplasmy in three families investigated via a repeatable re-sequencing study

BACKGROUND: Originally believed to be a rare phenomenon, heteroplasmy - the presence of more than one mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variant within a cell, tissue, or individual - is emerging as an important component of eukaryotic genetic diversity. Heteroplasmies can be used as genetic markers in appli...
