Results： ND3 and tRNA^Met＋Glu＋Ile gene fragments ofmtDNA from the tumors showed no variation in 27 endonuclease sites; D-loop ofmtDNA from Hca-F had an additional endonuclease sites of Hinf I in contrast to that of the inbred mouse. Deeply analyzed by PCR-SSCP, the D-loop ofmtDNA was found to possess mutations in 4 of 6 tumors. Conclusion： D-loop is the hot spot of tumor mtDNA mutation which can act as contributors to the carcinogenic展开更多
