  • Inherited maternally
  • Transferred to all offspring
  • Paternal MT DNA is not propagated to offspring
  • All affected should carry variation

Ok so it is like AD, right?

Yes, but the variant can only be inherited on the maternal side.

  1. Mitochondria-linked Dominant (MD): Lika AD except
    • Only on MT
    • Mother affected and “1"
    • All offspring is affected and “1”
  2. Mitochondria-linked (M):
    • Only on MT
    • Offspring can be either “0” or “1” i.e. reduced penetrance due to the bottleneck between generations (i.e. Mother to child transmission of MT subpopulation) or novel mutation in offspring
    • Mother unaffected and “0” or affected and “1"
    • Affected offspring is “1”
    • Unaffected offspring is “0"
