Comment on “Role of Mitochondrial Genome Mutations in Pathogenesis of Carotid Atherosclerosis”

الملخص EN

We read with interest the article by Sazonova et al.

about their study of 700 patients with atherosclerosis who were investigated for the presence or absence of 11 mtDNA variants [1].

The authors found that the mtDNA variants m.652delG, m.3336C>T, m.12315G>A, m.14459G>A, and m.15059G>A could serve as biomarkers for the assessment of future atherosclerotic risk in the general population [1].

We have the following comments and concerns.
