Profiling variable-number tandem repeat variation across populations using repeat-pangenome graphs [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2021
Variable number tandem repeats (VNTRs) are difficult to analyze by short-read sequencing in disease studies. Here, the authors describe a VNTR mapping strategy for short-read analyses using a repeat pangenome graph.

A novel hypervariable variable number tandem repeat in the dopamine transporter gene (SLC6A3). [PDF]

Life Sci Alliance, 2023
The dopamine transporter gene, SLC6A3, has received substantial attention in genetic association studies of various phenotypes. Although some variable number tandem repeats (VNTRs) present in SLC6A3 have been tested in genetic association studies ...

The shortcut of mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit-variable number tandem repeat typing for Mycobacterium tuberculosis differentiation [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The 24-loci mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit-variable number tandem repeat (MIRU-VNTR) genotyping has been used as an international standard method for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) genotyping. However, different optimized VNTR loci sets for

Molecular Investigation of Tularemia Outbreaks, Spain, 1997–2008 [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014
Tularemia outbreaks occurred in northwestern Spain in 1997–1998 and 2007–2008 and affected >1,000 persons. We assessed isolates involved in these outbreaks by using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis with 2 restriction enzymes and multilocus variable ...

Whole Genome Variable Number Tandem Repeat Analysis in Alzheimer Disease [PDF]

Neurology: Genetics
Investigation into different allelic variants may yield new associative genes to predict late-onset Alzheimer disease (LOAD). Variable number tandem repeats (VNTRs) are important polymorphic components of the genome; however, they have been previously overlooked because of their complex genotyping.
