This study was aimed to detect the mutations and microsatellite instability (mtMSI) in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) D-loop region in bone marrow cells of acute leukemia (AL) patients, and to analyze their relationship with the pathogenesis of AL. 19 cases of newly diagnosed AL were enrolled in this study. Through extracting mtDNA, the D-loop region was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), the sequences of PCR products were detected by the pros- and cons-direct sequencing methods. The sequencing results were compared with the revised Cambridge reference sequence (rCRS) and the relevant database (MITOMAP database, GenBank database, mtDB database). The results showed that the mutation rate of mtDNA D-loop region in AL was 79% (15/19). 215 variations (35 mutations, 180 SNP) and a kind of mtMSI in the D-loop region were detected. A new type of mutation nt150 C-CT was found. Also, there was no significant difference in the number of mutations between patients with different ages and different types of AL (AML, B-ALL). It is concluded that there is high frequency of mutations in the mtDNA D-loop, and the mutations may be associated with the pathogenesis of AL.

Characterization of Complete Mitochondrial Genome and Phylogeny of Three Echeneidae Species.
Animals (Basel)
January 2025
Fisheries College, Zhejiang Ocean University, Zhoushan 316022, China.
Article Synopsis
- Species in the Echeneidae family are known for their ability to attach to hosts using a sucking disc; this study analyzed the mitochondrial genomes of three such species.
- The mitochondrial genomes varied slightly in length and contained essential genes for protein coding, rRNA, tRNA, and a D-loop region, with most genes demonstrating specific patterns in their codon usage and genetic structure.
- Phylogenetic analysis revealed distinct relationships among the species, with one species forming its own group and the others being closely related, thus adding valuable data to the understanding of this fish family's classification.
Defects in the Mitochondrial Genome of Dogs with Recurrent Tumours.
Int J Mol Sci

Institute of Biological Bases of Animal Production, University of Life Sciences in Lublin, Akademicka 13 St., 20-950 Lublin, Poland.
This study presents a comprehensive analysis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variations in dogs diagnosed with primary and recurrent tumours, employing Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) for sequencing. Our investigation focused on mtDNA extracted from blood and tumour tissues of three dogs, aiming to pinpoint polymorphisms, mutations, and heteroplasmy levels that could influence mitochondrial function in cancer pathogenesis. Notably, we observed the presence of mutations in the D-loop region, especially in the VNTR region, which may be crucial for mitochondrial replication, transcription, and genome stability, suggesting its potential role in cancer progression.

Laboratory of Bioinformatics and Genomics, Federal University of Viçosa, Rio Paranaíba 38810-000, MG, Brazil.
We assembled and annotated the complete mitochondrial genomes of (hoary fox), (bush dog), (white-lipped peccary), and (Brazilian free-tailed bat). The mitogenomes exhibited typical vertebrate structures, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and a D-loop region. Phylogenetic reconstruction using the 13 protein-coding genes revealed robust relationships among species within Carnivora, Chiroptera, and Artiodactyla, corroborating previous studies.

Background/objectives: The colonization history of house mice reflects the maritime history of humans that passively transported them worldwide. We investigated western house mouse colonization in the Atlantic region through studies of mitochondrial D-loop DNA sequences from modern specimens.
Methods: We assembled a dataset of 758 haplotypes derived from 2765 mice from 47 countries/oceanic archipelagos (a combination of new and published data).
