Genetics of Mitochondrial Diseases

Zusatztext The publication of Genetics of Mitochondrial Diseases . . . is well timed to take account of recent advances in this specialty . . . I highly recommend this book . . . Basic scientists will benefit from the well written and informative sections on the relations between mitochondrial biochemical dysfunction and human disease. Clinicians will find important scientific background and assessment of the importance of various genetic defects. Other book have recently been published in this area, but I think the present volume is entirely complementary to these, and an important addition. Klappentext This book is a new addition to the successful Oxford Monographs on Medical Genetics series, providing a comprehensive review of the area of mitochondrial genetics. Most of the energy produced in cells comes from a compartment called mitochondria. These power houses contain a small piece of DNA (mitochondrial DNA), which is essential for energy production. Since the late 1980s it has been known that mutations in mitochondrial DNA cause disease. The book reviewsprogress in understanding these diseases made over the past decade and a half.A Complete coverage of mitochondrial diseases Zusammenfassung This book is a new addition to the Oxford Monographs on Medical Genetics series, providing a comprehensive review of the area of mitochondrial genetics.
