Journal ArticleDOI

Spectrum of pathogenic mtDNA mutations in Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy families from Siberia

TL;DR: It is suggested that phylogenetically ancient mutations could have provided their carriers with the adaptive advantages upon the development of Central and Northern Europe at the end of the last glaciation, thereby, contributing to the preservation of weekly pathogenic LHON mutations, appearing at specific genetic background.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Scanning Microwave Microscopy of Vital Mitochondria in Respiration Buffer

TL;DR: In this article, a scanning microwave microscopy (SMM) of vital mitochondria in respiration buffer is demonstrated using an electrophysiologically relevant liquid (hence conducting) environment.
Book ChapterDOI

Mitochondrial Myopathies: Genetic Aspects

TL;DR: This chapter discusses the genetic aspects of mitochondrial myopathies, which are the major producers of cellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by the process of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS).
Journal ArticleDOI

Profiling genes related to mitochondrial function in mice treated with N-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine.

TL;DR: Since mitochondrial dysfunction plays an important role in the pathogenesis of dopaminergic neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease, the expression of genes related to mitochondrial function in the substantia nigra of mice treated with N-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) is determined using a cDNA array.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heteroplasmic mutations of the mitochondrial genome cause paradoxical effects on mitochondrial functions

TL;DR: The results suggest that the phenotype caused bymtDNA mutations may depend on the availability of the nutrients, and this gene‐environment interaction may contribute to the complexity of pathogenesis and clinical phenotypes caused by mtDNA mutation.
