Mitochondrial genome editing reveals the impact of complex I heteroplasmic variants on human neurogenesis
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variants, whether maternally inherited or acquired somatically during aging, can be particularly detrimental to cells that rely on mitochondrial metabolism such as neurons. The functional consequences of mtDNA variants are thought to depend on their heteroplasmy, defined as the proportion of mtDNA molecules carrying that variant. However, investigating the specific…
