MITOCHONDRIAL DNA MUTATIONS AS AN IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTOR TO AGEING AND DEGENERATIVE DISEASES
Abstract
The human mitochondrial genome is very small and economically packed; the expression of the whole genome is essential for the maintenance of mitochondrial bioenergetic function. Mutation occurs at a much higher rate in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) than in chromosomal DNA. Transient heteroplasmy of mtDNA occurs after a mutational event; the random pattern of cytoplasmic segregation that occurs during subsequent growth gives rise to a mosaic of cells. The variable proportion of mutant mitochondrial genomes per cell results in cells with a range of bioenergetic capacities. It is proposed that the accumulation of mitochondrial mutations and the subsequent cytoplasmic segregation of these mutations during life is an important contributor both to the ageing process and to several human degenerative diseases. Replacement therapy and pharmacological support may be possible for the amelioration of such disorders by means of appropriate redox compounds. Moreover, new compounds with desired redox potentials can be rationally designed for clinical use.

In the citing paper
“mtDNA has been considered a major target for aging-associated somatic mutations due to the oxidative microenvironment of the mitochondria, the lack of protective histones in the mtDNA, and the limited efficiency of the mtDNA repair mechanisms compared to those of nuclear DNA (Linnane et al., 1989).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
