Reduced-Median-Network Analysis of Complete Mitochondrial DNA Coding-Region Sequences for the Major African, Asian, and European Haplogroups

TL;DR: This work used reduced-median-network approaches to analyze 560 complete European, Asian, and African mtDNA coding-region sequences from unrelated individuals to develop a more complete understanding of sequence diversity both within and between haplogroups.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mammalian mitochondrial genetics: heredity, heteroplasmy and disease

TL;DR: How much there is still to learn about mitochondrial genetics is reiterated to discuss recent observations that have addressed several fundamental issues and to predict the segregation and transmission of a mutant genome.
Journal ArticleDOI

The epidemiology of Leber hereditary optic neuropathy in the North East of England.

TL;DR: The first population-based clinical and molecular genetic study of Leber hereditary optic neuropathy in a population of 2,173,800 individuals in the North East of England indicates that LHON is not rare but has a population prevalence similar to autosomally inherited neurological disorders.
Journal Article

Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy: Identification of the Same Mitochondrial ND1 Mutation in Six Pedigrees

TL;DR: Biochemical and molecular genetic evidence is presented that in six independent pedigrees the development of Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is due to the same primary mutation in the mitochondrial ND1 gene.
