The dynamics by which mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) evolves within organisms are still poorly understood, despite the fact that inheritance and proliferation of mutated mtDNA causes fatal and incurable diseases. When two mtDNA haplotypes are present in a cell, it is usually assumed that segregation (the proliferation of one haplotype over another) is negligible. We challenge this assumption showing that segregation depends on the genetic distance between haplotypes. We provide evidence by creating four new mouse models containing mtDNA haplotype pairs of varying diversity. We find tissue-specific segregation in all models over a wide range of tissues. Key findings are segregation in post mitotic tissues (important for disease models), and segregation covering all developmental stages from prenatal up to old age. We identify four new dynamic regimes of mtDNA segregation. We suggest “haplotype matching” as a means to avoid complications for therapies in human populations that our findings imply.
