Brief Communication: Role of Nuclear Background and in vivo Environment in Variable Segregation Behavior of the Aging-Dependent T414G Mutation at Critical Control Site for Human Fibroblast mtDNA Replication
Previous work had shown a large accumulation (up to 50% of mtDNA) of a noninherited T414G transversion at a critical control site for mtDNA replication in skin fibroblasts from the majority of human subjects a...
