As the non-code region of mitochondrial genome, the displacement-loop region (D-loop) controls the replication and transcription of mtDNA, but it is easy to be altered. The variation, including mutation and polymorphism, plays an important role in disease. Finally, the status quo of radiation induced D-loop variation and its perspective were outlined.
