In patients with mitochondrial disease, mutant mtDNA frequently co ... There seems to be a genetic 'bottleneck' whereby a single or small number of founder mtDNA(s) populate the entire organism.

However, the majority of mitochondrial diseases are due to mutations in nuclear DNA that affect products that end up in the mitochondria. These mutations can either be inherited or spontaneous.

Single-cell analysis of over 120,000 cells reveals how mitochondrial DNA mutations accumulate with age and may affect ageing and neurodegeneration.New ...
