Direct PCR‐Based VNTR Analysis of TPO Intron 10 for Rapid Detection of Maternal Cell Contamination in Prenatal Diagnosis [PDF]

Clinical and Translational Science
Maternal cell contamination (MCC) in fetal specimens poses a major risk for misdiagnosis in prenatal genetic testing. Standard variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) analysis of the thyroid peroxidase (TPO) gene intron 10 is informative for MCC detection ...

Length of Variable Numbers of Tandem Repeats in the Carboxyl Ester Lipase (CEL) Gene May Confer Susceptibility to Alcoholic Liver Cirrhosis but Not Alcoholic Chronic Pancreatitis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
BackgroundCarboxyl-ester lipase (CEL) contributes to fatty acid ethyl ester metabolism, which is implicated in alcoholic pancreatitis. The CEL gene harbours a variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) region in exon 11.

Bacillus anthracis strain differentiation based on SNP and VNTR loci

Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2022
Bacillus anthracis is the anthrax causative agent. For its epidemiology, it is important not only to identify the etiological agent but also to determine the patterns of its evolution and spread.

The VNTR 48 bp Polymorphism in the DRD4 Gene Is Associated with Higher Tobacco Smoking in Male Mexican Mestizo Smokers with and without COPD

Diagnostics, 2019
Cigarette smoking is influenced by nicotine’s effects on dopaminergic activity, which appear to be moderated by genetic variation, particularly a variable number tandem repeat (VNTR, 48 bp) polymorphism in the third exon of the dopamine receptor ...

Insulin gene polymorphisms in type I diabetes, Addison's disease and the polyglandular autoimmune syndrome type II [PDF]

, 2008
Background: Polymorphisms within the insulin gene can influence insulin expression in the pancreas and especially in the thymus, where self-antigens are processed, shaping the T cell repertoire into selftolerance, a process that protects from ß-cell ...
