In House Rapid, Simple Multiple-Locus Variable-Number Tandem Repeat Analysis (MLVA): A Reliable Tool for Enterobacter hormaechei Genotyping. [PDF]
We developed a new MLVA protocol targeting eight VNTR loci for the rapid and cost‐effective surveillance of Enterobacter hormaechei. Tested on diverse clinical isolates, it showed a discriminatory power comparable to MLST and was able to distinguish some strains within the same sequence type.

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