[Annotation to the mitochondrial genome].
After a brief explanation of the mitochondrial function, especially in the relation to the inner-cell coordination, the study analyzed the mitochondrial hypertroph-dilatative cardiomyopathy, myopathy and scrapie which were recently tied to the "D-loop fragment" of the mtDNA. Any primary connection between viral unconventional slow infections and the mitochondrial genome seems unlikely. It is argued in the study that this category of diseases can be much better explained through the transfer of the so-called mobile retroelements.
