mtDNA
mtDNA is an abbreviation of "Mitochondrial DNA".
Human mtDNA is a circular DNA molecule, approximately 16,500 in size.
Each Mitochondrion contains several copies of mtDNA and a typical cell can have
hundreds of Mitochondria. Therefore a typical cell could have up to a thousand
copies of mtDNA compared to the one copy of the Nuclear DNA.

Although I don't have any medical qualifications,
as a sufferer of Diabetes, Deafness and Tinnitus caused by the A3243G mtDNA defect,
I do have a very keen interest in the subject.
