摘要
Animal models and methods wherein homoplasmic and heteroplasmic mtDNA mutation(s) are induced in an animal (e.g., a mouse) to cause or facilitate the development of a disorder (e.g., disease, malformation, defect, abnormality or other disorder). In at least some embodiments, the mtDNA mutation(s) will cause or facilitate the development of an age-related disorder, such as a cardiac disease, cardiomyopathy, muscle disease, cancer, abnormaly in tissues of high cellular turnover, heart dysfunction, graying of hair, alopecia, auditory function loss, cochlear degeneration, immune cell loss, anemia, male germ cell loss leading to lack of sperm and infertility, skeletal muscle mass loss (sarcopenia), neurodegeneration, increased presence of apoptotic markers, and loss of bone mass.
