Computational analysis of pathological image enables interpretable prediction for microsatellite instability [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Microsatellite instability (MSI) is associated with several tumor types and its status has become increasingly vital in guiding patient treatment decisions. However, in clinical practice, distinguishing MSI from its counterpart is challenging since the diagnosis of MSI requires additional genetic or immunohistochemical tests.

Gene polymorphisms in primary biliary cirrhosis: association with the disease and hepatic osteopathy [PDF]
, 2007 Genetic factors have been implicated in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis, a common disorder in primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). Estrogen receptor-alpha gene (ER- ), vitamin-D-receptor gene (VDR) and IL-1-receptor-antagonist gene (IL-1RN) are all ...

Patterns of microsatellite distribution across eukaryotic genomes
BMC Genomics, 2019 Microsatellites, or Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs), are short tandem repeats of 1–6 nt motifs present in all genomes. Emerging evidence points to their role in cellular processes and gene regulation.

A comparison of SNPs and microsatellites as linkage mapping markers: lessons from the zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) [PDF]
, 2010 Background: Genetic linkage maps are essential tools when searching for quantitative trait loci (QTL). To maximize genome coverage and provide an evenly spaced marker distribution a combination of different types of genetic marker are sometimes used.

Intron retention induced by microsatellite expansions as a disease biomarker
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018 Significance A number of hereditary neurological and neuromuscular diseases are caused by the abnormal expansion of short tandem repeats, or microsatellites, resulting in the expression of repeat expansion RNAs and proteins with pathological properties ...
