Deletion of a 4977-bp Fragment in the Mitochondrial Genome Is Associated with Mitochondrial Disease Severity.

Large deletions in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) may be involved in the pathogenesis of mitochondrial disease. In this study, we investigated the relationship between a 4,977-bp deletion in the mitochondrial genome (ΔmtDNA(4977)) and the severity of clinical symptoms in patients with mitochondrial disea...
