摘要：

Recently, a variety of degenerative diseases have been attributed to mutations in mitochondrial DNA. Even though these mutations are inherited and present throughout the body, they frequently cause late-onset, tissue-specific disease. This may be explained by a combination of the tissue-specific accumulation of somatic mtDNA mutations with age and the variation between tissues in the expression of nuclear genes that encode mitochondrial functions.
