Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The search for variants of mitochondrial genome associated with atherosclerosis, in particular, with carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT), is necessary to understand the role of the damage of mitochondrial genome in the development of atherosclerosis. Such data can be useful to provide novel genetic markers of predisposition to atherosclerosis and molecular targets for further development of technologies aimed to prevent age-related degenerative pathologies. Data presented in this article demonstrate the association of several heteroplasmic variants of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) previously described as proatherogenic ones with cIMT in 251 participants (190 participants from Novosibirsk, Russia, and 61 participant from Almaty, Kazakhstan). It was shown that the occurrence of some variants of mitochondrial genome is different in samples derived from Russian and Kazakh populations; the level of mitochondrial heteroplasmy m.13513G > A correlates negatively with mean cIMT in both Russian and Kazakh participants.
