Description
The Prostate Core Mitomic Test is based upon a 3.4 kb mitochondrial genome deletion (3.4 mtdelta) that was identified through PCR analysis of frozen prostate cancer samples. In cancer research it has been found that deletions in mitochondrial DNA can correlate with cellular changes that indicate development of cancer. This deletion includes the terminal 22 bases of MT-ND4L, all of MT-ND4, 3 tRNAs (histidine, serine 2, and leucine 2), and all except the terminal 24 bases of MT-ND5.
