Circulating cell-free mitochondrial DNA levels in Parkinson’s disease are influenced by treatment

Abstract Several studies have linked circulating cell-free mitochondrial DNA (ccf-mtDNA) to human disease. In particular, reduced ccf-mtDNA levels in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of both Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients have raised the hypothesis that ccf-mtDNA could be used as a b...
