Methods We offered mitochondrial donation (by pronuclear transfer) or preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) to a series of women with pathogenic mtDNA variants who sought to reduce the transmission of ...
One study reported 8 live births from 22 women with pathogenic mtDNA variants who underwent mitochondrial donation through pronuclear transfer. None had signs of mitochondrial disease and heteroplasmy ...

A new study from deCODE genetics uses pedigrees and sequence data from 64,806 Icelanders to shed light on the rate and nature of mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and the peculiar dynamics of its ...
Maintaining mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) integrity is crucial for cardiomyocyte function, and its disruption plays a significant role in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. This review sheds light on the ...
Summary of the effect of mammalian mtDNA on contributing 13 polypeptide subunits (PS) to five oxidative phosphorylation complexes (I–V) that make up the OXPHOS. The inner mitochondrial membrane ...
