A complex genomic locus drives mtDNA replicase POLG expression to its disease‐related nervous system regions
Abstract DNA polymerase gamma (POLG), the mtDNA replicase, is a common cause of mitochondrial neurodegeneration. Why POLG defects especially cause central nervous system (CNS) diseases is unknown. We discovered a complex genomic regulatory locus for POLG, containing three functional CNS‐specific enh...
