While uniparental (and maternal) mitochondrial inheritance is the dominant pattern, there is a surprisingly large diversity of other inheritance modes, especially in fungi. Closely related species, or even different strains of the same species, can have different mitochondrial inheritance patterns in the...
Despite its small size, the mitochondrial genome can be used to establish maternal family ties, thanks to its maternal pattern of inheritance. Mutations in the mitochondrial genome have also been associated with diverse forms of human disease and aging. Mitochondrial Anatomy and Physiology Figure ...
An inheritance pattern that results from the expression of mitochondrial DNA. Supplement This form of inheritance does not follow the Mendelian pattern since it involves mitochondrial genome expression that does not follow Mendelian rule. Many of the known cases of mitochondrial diseases that arise from...
Whatever the mechanism, this single parent (uniparental) pattern of mtDNA inheritance is found in most animals, most plants and in fungi as well. In humans (and probably in metazoans in general), 100-10,000 separate copies of mtDNA are usually present per cell (egg and sperm cells are ...
The genome of mitochondria and chloroplasts does not follow the patterns of Mendelian genetics. Instead, it follows the inheritance pattern of cytoplasmic inheritance. This non-nuclear DNA is inherited in a much different way than nuclear DNA.Lesson...
of mitochondrialgene mutationsfollows a pattern ofmaternal inheritance; there is no transmission through affected males. Offspring of affected individuals who receive a copy of the mutantmitochondrial genemay show different levels of phenotypic expression of these mutations. This variability of expression of...
(AR) or X-linked pattern of inheritance, while pathogenic mtDNA mutations are strictly maternally transmitted, but sporadic mtDNA mutations can also occur [8]. Mutations in the same gene can result in dissimilar clinical presentations; for instance, mutations in the mitochondrially encoded MT-ATP6...

Getty ImagesThe Cincinnati team led by Taosheng Huang reached out to other facilities around the world in search of other people with heteroplasmy in their mitochondria. They found two more unrelated family lines with the same peculiar pattern of mitochondrial inheritance. Children in these families ...
