title: [Study of a mtDNA deletion in BALB/c mice exposed to ionizing radiation].
abstract: A novel large mtDNA deletion of 5914 bp was detected in mice exposed to X-radiation. The regions flanking the deleted fragment were characterized by the method of sequencing. The possibility of using a minimum sample of the mouse auricle tissue for detecting mtDNA deletions in the same animals at different postradiation times is demonstrated.
