Presumably it's not the mitochondrial DNA itself that is causing the problem but rather chromosomal DNA (or some combination). If it were only mitochondrial DNA then it would be strongly heritable from the mother's side, which is not what we see.

- WantonQuantum 6y agoYes, I definitely got my depression from my mother's side of the family. But as far as I'm aware, after controlling for environmental factors (such as amount of time spent with each parent, etc) there's no detectable bias toward maternal inheritance.
