Abstract

We have examined the role of somatic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations in human ageing by quantitating the accumulation of the common 4977 nucleotide pair (np) deletion (mtDNA4977) in the cortex, putamen and cerebellum. A significant increase in the mtDNA4977 deletion was seen in elderly individuals. In the cortex, the deleted to total mtDNA ratio ranged from 0.00023 to 0.012 in 67-77 year old brains and up to 0.034 in subjects over 80. In the putamen, the deletion level ranged from 0.0016 to 0.010 in 67 to 77 years old up to 0.12 in individuals over the age of 80. The cerebellum remained relatively devoid of mtDNA deletions. Similar changes were observed with a different 7436 np deletion. These changes suggest that somatic mtDNA deletions might contribute to the neurological impairment often associated with ageing.

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.
