Inherited common variants in mitochondrial DNA and invasive serous epithelial ovarian cancer risk

BACKGROUND: Mitochondria are the site of oxidative phosphorylation, a process which generates reactive oxygen species (ROS). Elevated ROS levels can lead to oxidative stress, a cellular state implicated in carcinogenesis. It is hypothesized that alternations in mitochondrial (MT) DNA, including heri...
