Enzyme cuts show higher amount of mutants in heart than in blood DNA. 1: Middle, A3260G, tRNALeuUUR; left, XmnI digestion in blood and in heart DNA; right, ultrastructural characteristics of the heart mitochondria with inclusion polygonal bodies. 2: Middle, T4314A, tRNAIle; left, MseI digestion in blood and in heart DNA; right, ultrastructural characteristics of the heart mitochondria with ring organelles. 3: Middle, A4315G, tRNAIle; left, MseI digestion in blood and inheart DNA; right, ultrastructural characteristics of the heart mitochondria with crystallized compacted cristae and osmiophilic bodies. 4: Middle, A5600T, tRNAAla; left, HinfI digestion in blood and in heart DNA; right, ultrastructural characteristics of the heart mitochondria with large organelles, devoid of cristae and often full of glycogen. 5: Middle, T7581C, tRNAAsp; left, MnlI digestion in blood and in heart DNA; right, ultrastructural characteristics of the heart mitochondria with giant organelles, peripheral cristolysis, and central compacted cristae. 6: Middle, C14684T, tRNAGlu; left, NlaIII digestion in blood and in heart DNA; right, ultrastructural characteristics of the heart mitochondria with concentrically arranged and undulated cristae.
