A comparative analysis of heteromlasmy level of four mutations in mitochondrial genes of subunits 1, 2, 5 and 6 NADH dehydrogenase in DNA samples was carried out. The DNA samples were isolated from total homogenates of intima of 10 aortas affected with atherosclerosis and normal ones. It was found that the heteroplasmy level of mutations G14459A and C5178A in homogenates with atherosclerotic lesions is significantly higher compared to total homogenates from normal intima in the investigated aortas.Downloads
