Abstract
Compositions and methods based on quantification of extramitochondrial DNA (exmtDNA) sequences are provided that are useful for detecting the presence of or risk for having a disease associated with altered mitochondrial function, and for identifying agents suitable for treating such diseases. The exmtDNA sequences have strong homology to authentic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences.
