Mitochondrial DNA variants and their impact on epigenetic and biological aging in young adulthood
The pace of biological aging varies between people independently of chronological age and mitochondria dysfunction is a key hallmark of biological aging. We hypothesized that higher functional impact (FI) score of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variants might contribute to premature aging and teste...
