Fig 3. Fraction (%) of each type of rare mutations in the whole mtDNA.

Types of rare point mutations in the whole mtDNA were determined using DS. (A) Data (mean ± SEM) are pooled from women (ID #11, #30, and #31). Significant differences in fractions (%) of mutation types between the two groups are indicated (p <0.05 (^*) by Mann-Whitney U-test).
