  • Silent indicates nucleotide change does not result in an amino acid substitution. The following abbreviations have been used: G=guanine; C=cytosine; A=adenine; T=thymine; CO=cytochrome c oxidase subunit gene; tRNA=transfer RNA gene; Lys=lysine; Arg=arginine; Thr=threonine; Phe=phenylalanine; Ala=alanine; Tryp=tryptophan; Gly=glycine; Leu=leucine; ND=nicotinamide adenine dehydrogenase subunit gene; ATPase=ATP synthase subunit gene; D-loop=displacement loop.*Pathogenic mutation.
