Mitochondrial DNA mutations are established in human colonic stem cells, and mutated clones expand by crypt fission.

The understanding of the fixation of mutations within human tissues and their subsequent clonal expansion is a considerable problem, of which little is known. We have previously shown that nononcogenic mutations in the mitochondrial genome occur in one of a number of morphologically normal colonic c...
