From: Mitochondrial DNA m.3243A > G heteroplasmy affects multiple aging phenotypes and risk of mortality
Mitochondrial m.3243A > G association with stroke-related mortality. Survival was compared across tertiles of m.3243A > G heteroplasmy with a total of 263 participants included in each tertile. A significantly increased risk stroke mortality was observed for participants in the highest tertile of heteroplasmy when compared with those in the lowest tertile (HR = 2.43, 95% CI = 1.00–5.97, p = 0.05). Analyses adjusted for age, sex, race, and clinic site.
