Correlation of heteroplasmy levels (%) and mtDNA copy number (MT-ND1/18S5) in the central nervous system tissue (black circles) and in the peripheral tissues (red circles) from the case report patient. In both the central nervous system samples and the peripheral tissues, higher levels of heteroplasmy correlated with lower mtDNA copy number, however only significantly in the central nervous system samples (p < 0.05).
