Mitochondrial DNA mutations in gynecological cancers
Mitochondria are metabolic organelles inherited only from the mother and possessing their own genome(mtDNA). The mt DNA is a circular, double-stranded molecule of 16.569 bp length containing 37 genes coding13 polypeptides, 2 genes of rRNA (12S, 16S), and 22 genes of tRNA. All of these proteins are s...
