So far, only a few studies have analysed the presence, pattern, and functional impacts of epigenetic alterations in the mitochondrial genome. However, the possibility that epigenetic alterations could impact mtDNA expression and several mitochondrial functions shouldnot be overlooked. Recent studies have found evidence of mitochondrial isoforms of DNA metiltransferases (DNMTs) and ten-ele…
Although the molecular mechanism that causes the formation and accumulation of deletions in the mtDNA is unknown, it has been proposed that somatic deletions result from incomplete or unresolved repair events, mainly during repair of double-strand breaks. Deletions in mtDNA are related to mitochondrial diseases like Kearns-Sayre syndrome and other complex diseases such as neurodegeneratio…
Only a few studies have analyzed the presence, pattern, and functional impacts of epigenetic alterations in the mitochondrial genome. Emerging data established correlations between mtDNA methylation patterns, mtDNA expression and alterations in mitochondrial respiration. Moreover, alterations in mitochondrial DNA have been associated with air pollution exposition, cardiopathies and cancer…
