Increased Risk of Gastric Cancer with VNTR Polymorphism of SIRT3 Gene

Journal of Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences, 2017
Background and purpose: Gastric cancer is the most common cancer associated with high mortality worldwide. One of the genes that is down-regulated in gastric cancer, is the SIRT3 that encodes the histone deacetylase enzyme.

The Effect of Olanzapine on Craving and Alcohol Consumption

, 2006
Previous studies have indicated that olanzapine decreases craving after a priming dose of alcohol, that craving after a priming dose of alcohol is greater among individuals with the seven-repeat allele of the DRD4 variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR)

Nanopore sequencing with unique molecular identifiers enables accurate mutation analysis and haplotyping in the complex lipoprotein(a) KIV-2 VNTR

Genome Medicine
Background Repetitive genome regions, such as variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) or short tandem repeats (STR), are major constituents of the uncharted dark genome and evade conventional sequencing approaches. The protein-coding LPA kringle IV type-

Molecular typing of Mycobacterium kansasii using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and a newly designed variable-number tandem repeat analysis

Scientific Reports, 2018
Molecular epidemiological studies of Mycobacterium kansasii are hampered by the lack of highly-discriminatory genotyping modalities. The purpose of this study was to design a new, high-resolution fingerprinting method for M. kansasii.
