mtDNA4977, the most common deletion of the mitochondrial DNA, has been detected in different types of human neoplasia. The aim of the current study was to determine the prevalence of mtDNA(4977) deletion in primary human endometrial carcinomas (EC) as compared with matched control samples. Thirty-seven matched control tissues and EC samples were enrolled, and the 4977-bp mtDNA deletion was investigated using a PCR-based technique. Deletion of mtDNA(4977) was detected in 32 out of 37 (84%) matched control samples and in 30 out of 37 (81%) ECs. A statistically significant correlation of mtDNA(4977)/wild-type mtDNA ratios was noted between normal and cancerous human endometrial tissues (R=0.844, p
