Abstract
The sequencing of a 360-nucleotide segment of the mt DNA control regio n in a population survey revealed the presence of one individual havin g heteroplasmy in positions 16,293 (A and G) and 16,311 (C and T). Thi s case indicates that heteroplasmy in humans may not be as rave as gen erally believed.
