Complete mitochondrial genomes of patients from Thailand with cardiovascular diseases.

ABSTRACT: Several previous studies have reported that both variation and haplogroups of mitochondrial (mt) DNA were associated with various kinds of diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, in different populations, but such studies have not been carried out in Thailand. Here, we sequenced complete mtDNA genomes from 82 patients diagnosed with three types of cardiovascular disease, i.e., Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) (n = 26), Long Q-T Syndrome (LQTS) (n = 7) and Brugada Syndrome (BrS) (n = 49) and compared these with 750 previously published mitogenome sequences from interviewed normal individuals as a control group. Both patient and control groups are from the same geographic region of northeastern Thailand. We found 9, 2, and 5 novel mutations that were not both damaging and deleterious i
