Abstract
(Abstracted from Hum Reprod 2017;32(10):2101–2109) This study looks at the effect of ovarian aging on the number of point mutations in oocyte mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). The “bottleneck” theory states that because there may be only a few mtDNA molecules in the original oocyte they will eventually populate the entire body.
