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 ...

Testing DAT1 and DRD4 Genes in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Using a Wide Spectrum of Neurocognitive Batteries. [PDF]

Int J Dev Neurosci
This study examined DAT1 and DRD4 VNTR polymorphisms and neurocognitive performance in 336 children and adolescents with ADHD and controls using the CNS Vital Signs battery. DAT1 10R/10R showed no significant effects after adjustment, whereas DRD4 4R/4R was associated with reduced cognitive flexibility. ABSTRACT Attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder

Genetic Diversity of Methicillin‐Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolates From Two Tertiary Care Hospitals in Sulaymaniyah, Iraq, Characterized by spa Typing, Coagulase VNTR Sequencing, and REP‐PCR [PDF]

Int J Microbiol
Background Methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus remains a major cause of health care‐associated infection in high‐risk units such as burn and cancer wards. In settings where advanced genotyping schemes are not routinely available, combining complementary molecular typing methods can improve characterization of genetic diversity for surveillance ...

Biomarker‐informed characterization of an ABCA7 tandem repeat expansion in a family with early‐onset Alzheimer’s Disease [PDF]

Alzheimers Dement
Abstract Background ATP‐binding cassette transporter A7 (ABCA7) has been genetically implicated in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). A recent study by De Roeck et al. (2018) suggested a variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) in intron 18 of ABCA7 is a driver of the genetic signal at this locus.

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 ...
