Table 2. Nonsynonymous mtDNA sequence changes detected in PEG patients
In the "Base substitution type" column, Transversion=A mutation in which a purine/pyrimidine replaces a pyrimidine/purine base pair or vice versa (G:C>T:A or C:G, or A:T>T:A or C:G); Transition=A mutation in which a purine/pyrimidine base pair is replaced with a base pair in the same purine/pyrimidine relationship (A:T>G:C or C:G>T:A). Controls (%)=percent of controls with this nucleotide substitution. Previous reports of sequence variants were found in the Human Mitochondrial Genome Database (MITOMAP database), GenBank, and Medline listed publications. Interspecies conservation was assessed using the Polymorphism Phenotyping (PolyPhen) database, which determines interspecies conservation for an altered amino acid by performing alignment with all available amino acid sequences for other species, and the Mamit-tRNA website when necessary. Protean predicts and displays secondary structural characteristics. "Yes"=nucleotide change will alter protein secondary structure; "No"=change will not alter secondary structure. PolyPhen prediction of pathogenicity was assessed using the PolyPhen database. "Probably damaging" constitutes a high confidence of affecting protein function or structure. "Possibly damaging" reflects a likelihood of affecting protein function or structure, while "Benign" changes most likely lack phenotypic effect. "Unknown" means that PolyPhen could not make a prediction due to lack of data. None of these nucleotide changes was heteroplasmic. Summary; see Prediction of Pathogenicity in Methods. TM= transmembrane. N/A=not applicable because the database is not designed to predict this type of sequence change. Reported haplogroup specific NS sequence changes were excluded from Table 2 and further analysis.
