RT Journal A1 Comas, D A1 Pääbo, S A1 Bertranpetit, J T1 Heteroplasmy in the control region of human mitochondrial DNA. JF Genome Research JO Genome Research YR 1995 FD August 01 VO 5 IS 1 SP 89 OP 90 DO 10.1101/gr.5.1.89 UL http://genome.cshlp.org/content/5/1/89.abstract AB The sequencing of a 360-nucleotide segment of the mt DNA control region in a population survey revealed the presence of one individual having heteroplasmy in positions 16,293 (A and G) and 16,311 (C and T). This case indicates that heteroplasmy in humans may not be as rare as generally believed.
