Mitochondrial tRNA mutations may be infrequent in hepatocellular carcinoma patients

G. Li, Duan, Y. X., Zhang, X. B., Wu, F., Li, G., Duan, Y. X., Zhang, X. B., and Wu, F., Mitochondrial tRNA mutations may be infrequent in hepatocellular carcinoma patients, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.

Mitochondrial DNA mutations have been shown to play important roles in the pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In particular, genes encoding mitochondrial tRNA (mt-tRNA) are hotspots for pathogenic mutations associated with HCC. Recently, an increasing number of studies have reported the involvement of such mutations in this disease. As a result, several mt-tRNA mutations associated with HCC have been described. Some of these are neutral polymorphisms and may not cause mitochondrial dysfunction.
