The incidence and prevalence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) are increasing as the population ages. Both disorders have been associated with oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction, and it has been proposed that mutations in the mitochondrial genome have a key role in neurodegeneration in AD and PD patients. Two recent publications propose that heteroplasmic mtDNA mutations are involved in AD and PD. However, when these new studies are considered in relation to the sum of previous evidence, the role of mtDNA mutations in the development of either AD or PD still remains to be established.
