Abstract:Mitochondrial control region represents the most
variable segment of the mitochondrial genome. The frequency and pattern of
heteroplasmy has been described in several studies; however, none of the
reports documented the Croatian population. In the present study, we screened
the control region (1122 bp) of 95 individuals belonging to two predominant
mitochondrial phylogenetic branches in the Croatian population, haplogroups H
and U. Length heteroplasmy occurred in polycytosine (poly-C) tracts within
three hyper… Show more
