Abstract
En 中文
• Mt-DNA was analysed in the affected brainstem tissues from 42 stillbirths. • A higher mtDNA copy number was observed in cases compared with controls. • D-loop methylation levels were higher in affected brainstem tissues compared with controls. • Mitochondrial dysfunction is a key contributor to fetal demise, and mtDNA-CN is a potential biomarker for SB.
