The distribution and nature of major heteroplasmic mtDNA variation within 1363 cases from the MRC Brain Bank Tissue Resource. a Top left – The mean number of heteroplasmic variants per sample in each cohort. b Top right - The distribution of heteroplasmic fraction (ratio of mutant to wild-type allele) for heteroplasmic variants for each disease cohort. c Bottom left – The mean number of heteroplasmic point mutations by age for each disease cohort. d Bottom right – The mean heteroplasmic fraction by age for each disease cohort. Key – AD –Alzheimer’s disease, CJD – Creutzfeldt Jacob Disease, DLB-PD – Dementia with Lewy Bodies or Parkinson’s disease, FTD-ALS – Frontotemporal Dementia or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
