Microsatellite repeat instability and neurological disease [PDF]

open access: yesBioEssays, 2009
AbstractOver 20 unstable microsatellite repeats have been identified as the cause of neurological disease in humans. The repeat nucleotide sequences, their location within the genes, the ranges of normal and disease‐causing repeat length and the clinical outcomes differ.

Systematic microsatellite repeat expansion cloning and validation [PDF]

open access: yesHuman Genetics, 2020
Approximately 3% of the human genome is composed of short tandem repeat (STR) DNA sequence known as microsatellites, which can be found in both coding and non-coding regions. When associated with genic regions, expansion of microsatellite repeats beyond a critical threshold causes dozens of neurological repeat expansion disorders.

GTn Repeat Microsatellite Instability in Uterine Fibroids [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2019
Background: Type I collagen is a triple helix structure with two α1 and one α2 chains. Coordinated biosynthesis of α1 and α2 subunits is very important for tissue morphogenesis, growth, and repair. In contrast, abnormal deposition in response to proinflammatory cytokines is associated with organ dysfunction.

Development of microsatellite markers for identifying Brazilian Coffea arabica varieties [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Microsatellite markers, also known as SSRs (Simple Sequence Repeats), have proved to be excellent tools for identifying variety and determining genetic relationships.

Compound Microsatellite Repeats: Practical and Theoretical Features [PDF]

open access: yesGenome Research, 1999
Most linkage and population genetic studies that use microsatellites assume that the polymorphism observed at these loci is due simply to variation in the number of units of a single repeat. Variation is far more complex, however, for the numerous microsatellites that contain interruptions within the repeat or contain more than one type of repeat.

A fast and cost-effective approach to develop and map EST-SSR markers: oak as a case study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background: Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs) are a source of simple sequence repeats (SSRs) that can be used to develop molecular markers for genetic studies.

Characterization of Alu Repeats That Are Associated with Trinucleotide and Tetranucleotide Repeat Microsatellites [PDF]

open access: yesGenome Research, 1997
The association of subclasses of Alu repetitive elements with various classes of trinucleotide and tetranucleotide microsatellites was characterized as a first step toward advancing our understanding of the evolution of microsatellite repeats. In addition, information regarding the association of specific classes of microsatellites with families of Alu

Frameshift mutations at coding mononucleotide repeat microsatellites in endometrial carcinoma with microsatellite instability [PDF]

open access: yesCancer, 2000
Microsatellite instability (MI) is a frequent occurrence in endometrioid carcinoma of the endometrium (EC). Several genes known to contain mononucleotide short tracts in their coding sequences (TGF-beta RII, IGFIIR, BAX, hMSH6, and hMSH3) are likely targets for mutations in these tumors.DNA from 24 patients with EC and MI was extracted from blood and ...

Biodiversity of 52 chicken populations assessed by microsatellite typing of DNA pools [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
In a project on the biodiversity of chickens funded by the European Commission (EC), eight laboratories collaborated to assess the genetic variation within and between 52 populations from a wide range of chicken types.
