Abstract :
Abnormalities in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) including specific deletions and point mutations have been found in an increasing number of cases of both dilated and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The role that these mutations may play in contributing to the cardiomyopathic phenotype is discussed in this survey of the recent literature.
