In the present\n work, analysis of biopsied or autopsied human skeletal muscle revealed\n the absence or only minimal presence of those mutations. By contrast,\n surprisingly, most of 26 individuals 53 to 92 years old, without a\n known history of neuromuscular disease, exhibited at mtDNA replication\n control sites in muscle an accumulation of two new point mutations,\n i.e., A189G and T408A, which were absent or marginally present in 19\n individuals younger than 34 years. These two mutations were not found\n in fibroblasts from 22 subjects 64 to 101 years of age (T408A), or were\n present only in three subjects in very low amounts (A189G).\n Furthermore, in several older individuals exhibiting an accumulation in\n muscle of one or both of these mutations, they were nearly absent in\n other tissues, whereas the most frequent fibroblast-specific mutation\n (T414G) was present in skin, but not in muscle. Among eight additional\n individuals exhibiting partial denervation of their biopsied muscle,\n four subjects &gt;80 years old had accumulated the two muscle-specific\n point mutations, which were, conversely, present at only very low\n levels in four subjects \u226440 years old. The striking tissue specificity\n of the muscle mtDNA mutations detected here and their mapping at\n critical sites for mtDNA replication strongly point to the involvement\n of a specific mutagenic machinery and to the functional relevance of\n these mutations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.061013598","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2002,7,26]],"date-time":"2002-07-26T10:44:19Z","timestamp":1027680259000},"page":"4022-4027","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1073\/pnas.cm10313","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":223,"title":["Muscle-specific mutations accumulate with aging in critical human mtDNA control sites for replication"],"prefix":"10.1073","volume":"98","author":[{"given":"Yan","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Biology, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena,\r CA 91125; Division of Endocrinology, Charles R.
