Clustering of Beijing genotype Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from the Mekong delta in Vietnam on the basis of variable number of tandem repeat versus restriction fragment length polymorphism typing

open access: yesBMC Infectious Diseases, 2013
Background In comparison to restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) typing, variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) typing is easier to perform, faster and yields results in a simple, numerical format.

Examination of the Monoamine Oxidase A Gene Promoter on Motivation to Exercise and Levels of Voluntary Physical Activity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the genetic basis underlying voluntary exercise. Monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) is an enzyme that acts on monoamine neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, to cause inactivation. There are several polymorphisms

METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS GENOTYPING FOR EVOLUTIONARY AND EPIDEMIOLOGICAL RESEARCH

open access: yesИнфекция и иммунитет, 2014
. Current genome evolution of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is marked by virtual absence of the lateral gene transfer leading to the clonal population of this species consisting of separate genetic families. Standard typing method of M. tuberculosis (IS6110-

Mechanisms of disease-associated SINE-VNTR-Alus

open access: yesExperimental Biology and Medicine, 2022
SINE-VNTR-Alus (SVAs) are the youngest retrotransposon family in the human genome. Their ongoing mobilization has generated genetic variation within the human population. At least 24 insertions to date, detailed in this review, have been associated with disease.

Development of a technique for molecular typing of Bacillus anthracis strains using new VNTR and INDEL markers

open access: yesЖурнал микробиологии, эпидемиологии и иммунобиологии
Introduction. Bacillus anthracis, the pathogen of a particularly dangerous zoonotic disease known as anthrax, requires strict epidemiological control and is characterized by high genetic homogeneity, which necessitates the development of genotyping ...

Protection efficacy of Argentinian isolates of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis with different genotypes and virulence in a murine model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Paratuberculosis is a chronic disease caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (Map). The disease causes economic losses and, therefore, it is imperative to follow proper control strategies, which should include an effective vaccine. Several

Per3 VNTR polymorphism and chronic heart failure [PDF]

open access: yesBiomedical Papers, 2014
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between gene Period3 (Per3) variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphism and chronic heart failure (CHF).The study subjects (372 patients of Caucasian origin with CHF and 332 healthy controls) were genotyped for Per3 VNTR polymorphism using an allele-specific PCR.No significant differences ...

Impact of the Functional VNTR Variants of the Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist and Interleukin-4 Genes on Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma

open access: yesİstanbul Medical Journal, 2019
Introduction:It has been shown that the host immune response and chronic inflammation could play a role as important risk factors for cancer. Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a common cancer worldwide. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the impact
