Article Synopsis
- Mitochondria are crucial for cell function, and changes in their genetic material can lead to dysfunction and possibly cancer development, particularly gastric cancer (GC).
- In a study of GC patients from the Amazon region, researchers found that tumor samples had significantly more genetic variants compared to both the internal controls (healthy tissue from the same patient) and external controls (healthy individuals).
- The research also discovered that specific mitochondrial regions were more affected in tumors and highlighted a potential link between Native American ancestry and the risk of developing gastric cancer. It represents the first comprehensive analysis of mitochondrial genomes related to GC in Brazil.
