Mutations in the mitochondrial DNA D-loop region are frequent in cervical cancer
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is known for high mutation rates caused by lack of protective histones, inefficient DNA repair systems, and continuous exposure to mutagenic effects of oxygen radicals. Alterations in the non-coding displace...
