The mitochondrial common deletion is increased in psychiatric disorders. The individual subjects are plotted by age and common deletion (x-axis ratio of 350/5000 bp). Subjects with BPD died at a younger age in this study; there was a significant increase in common deletion after age adjustment. The blue circle indicates the 95% confidence limits around the control subjects. The increase in the common deletion for nine psychiatric subjects is shown outside of the blue circle. Group abbreviations are shown in Table I.
