Abstract
The sequencing of a 360-nucleotide segment of the mt DNA control region in a population survey revealed the presence of one individual having heteroplasmy in positions 16,293 (A and G) and 16,311 (C and T). This case indicates that heteroplasmy in humans may not be as rare as generally believed.
