L-2-Hydroxyglutaric aciduria: identification of a mutant gene C14orf160, localized on chromosome 14q22.1.

abstract：:Alterations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and consequent loss of mitochondrial function underlie the mitochondrial theory of aging. In this study, we systematically analyzed the mtDNA control region somatic mutation pattern in 2864 single hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and progenitors, isolated by flow cytometry sorti...
