Mitochondria play a crucial role in cellular respiration and immune responses. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroups and variants have been associated with various diseases, including COVID-19. This study analyzed complete mtDNA sequences from 467 Br...
BACKGROUND: There is a significant imbalance of mitochondrial activity and oxidative stress (OS) status in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD). This study aims to screen skin and peripheral mitochondria-related biomarkers, providing insights into th...
Preeclampsia is one of the leading causes of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Preeclampsia is linked to mitochondrial dysfunction as a contributing factor in its progression. This study aimed to develop a novel diagnostic model b...
BACKGROUND: We combined an unsupervised learning methodology for analyzing mitogenome sequences with maximum likelihood (ML) phylogenetics to make detailed inferences about the evolution and diversification of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup U5,...

We introduce a novel population genetic approach suitable to model the origin and relationships of populations, using new computation methods analyzing Hg frequency distributions. Hgs were selected into groups which show correlated frequencies in sub...
Human identification of unknown samples following disaster and mass casualty events is essential, especially to bring closure to family and friends of the deceased. Unfortunately, victim identification is often challenging for forensic investigators ...
The growing number of next-generation sequencing (NGS) data presents a unique opportunity to study the combined impact of mitochondrial and nuclear-encoded genetic variation in complex disease. Mitochondrial DNA variants and in particular, heteroplas...
WD is caused by variants disrupting copper efflux resulting in excessive copper accumulation mainly in liver and brain. The diagnosis of WD is challenged by its variable clinical course, onset, morbidity, and variant type. Currently it is diagnosed...
BACKGROUND: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that impacts an increasing percentage of people each year. Among its comorbidities, diabetics are two to four times more likely to develop cardiovascular diseases. While HbA1c remains the primary dia...
