Analysis of MNS16A VNTR polymorphic sequence variations of the TERT gene and associated risk for development of bladder cancer

Current Urology, 2021
. Background:. The MNS16A variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphism of the human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) gene acts as a regulator of hTERT promoter activity and has been shown to have a role in the predisposition toward various ...

Copy number variants and VNTR length polymorphisms of the carboxyl-ester lipase (CEL) gene as risk factors in pancreatic cancer.

Pancreatology : official journal of the International Association of Pancreatology (IAP) ... [et al.], 2017
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES We have recently described copy number variants (CNVs) of the human carboxyl-ester lipase (CEL) gene, including a recombined deletion allele (CEL-HYB) that is a genetic risk factor for chronic pancreatitis.

trfermikit: a tool to discover VNTR-associated deletions [PDF]

Bioinformatics, 2021
AbstractSummaryWe present trfermikit, a software tool designed to detect deletions larger than 50 bp occurring in Variable Number Tandem Repeats using Illumina DNA sequencing reads. In such regions, it achieves a better tradeoff between sensitivity and false discovery than a state-of-the-art structural variation caller, Manta and complements it by ...

The shortcut of mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit-variable number tandem repeat typing for Mycobacterium tuberculosis differentiation

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The 24-loci mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit-variable number tandem repeat (MIRU-VNTR) genotyping has been used as an international standard method for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) genotyping. However, different optimized VNTR loci sets for
