Detection of mtDNA deletions will be performed in the Kaufman Lab. Further, we will survey changes in mitochondrial antioxidant defense pathway by measuring expression of key antioxidant genes, including Prdx3, Txn2, Txnrd2, Ucp2, and Sod2, by qRT-PCR. As Director of the Mitochondrial Genetics Core for the Center for Metabolism and Mitochondrial Medicine, Dr. Kaufman also will be able to provide fee-for-service technical support for these assays on an as needed basis.
